Thanks Ariel. Are you able to use the Jaws cursor to read the screen if needed? Maybe with Chrome it's not necessary, but with the other browsers there's been times I needed to click a button or right click a link where the enter key and apps key respectively wouldn't' execute.
Brad Dunse You don't have to give loved ones the same old gift: card, candy, flowers, etc. They're worth a gift that's as uniquely individual as they are. With just a click of a mouse, find out what it meant to others to have a Custom Song Gift written for their loved ones! -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ariel Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Google Chrome question Hi, I'm using Google Chrome with JAWS 12. I haven't had any problems with it. It's my everyday browser. I've used Firefox before, but I don't like it. It's sort of slow at times, stops working, other times JAWS stops responding. IE was alright, but I wouldn't go back. I'm quite satisfied with Chrome. On 4/11/2013 1:10 PM, Brad Dunse wrote: > Thanks for your reply.
