It you want an optional search engine that doesn't track you try
startpage.com, it uses google to search but doesn't give them your info to
track.

I am using the latest jaws 18. When I land on the settings I just enter. I
can
then just down arrow through the selections. With a little hope and poke I
have been able to create 2 web pages that load at startup. My local weather
page and the 2nd tab is my local newspaper.
Now where I am having a problem is with the search choices. I always use
duckduckgo.com for my searches. Duckduckgo.com does not track you. I have
been
trying to add that to the list and make it my default. It is no problem to
select it from bookmarks or enter in the address bar just would like to make
it the default for Google chrome.

Thanks, Mike. A useful suggestion, but I'm still stuck with the Chrome sales
page as my homepage. I hope someone can advise me how to set a different
homepage.
For people's convenience, you explain how to navigate Chrome settings
without
needing to turn off the virtual cursor. In JAWS settings, you recommend the
following settings;
Frame show start & end, should be checked.
In line frames show, should be on.
These settings must be made when focus is on the Chrome settings page. JAWS
distinguishes between the Chrome domain and the Chrome browser. Thus, while
inline frames in the settings area is set to on, it can be off for the
browser. I wouldn't make these settings your universal defaults, and I think
Mike would agree. If he doesn't, he's sure to let us know.

Hi Adrian,
Below are some notes I made back when I was running Chrome regularly. Read
all the way through.
From: Ann Byrne via Jfw Would it help to turn off the quick keys with
insert-z? I needed to get to a dialog today and that was the trick. Also
someone else suggested shift-enter instead of just enter.
good luck!

Hi Ann,
Thank you very much, pressing, Insert / Jaws key + Z, is the trick but, this
keystroke toggles the virtual cursor mode On / off. Press enter on the
Settings option then press, Insert + Z, to turn the virtual cursor off & you
can tab through the Settings options. Or you can press the Alt key to open
the list, arrow up to Settings, press, Insert + Z, to turn the virtual
cursor
off, then press enter on Settings & you can tab through the options.
Shift + Enter does not work.
Take care.

Hi All,
Running Widows 7 Pro, Chrome, & Jaws 15 thru 17 latest. When in Chrome if
you
press the, Alt key, it opens a vertical view of the menues. Well, in
J17 when I would arrow down to the, Settings Option & press enter to open, &
here is where my problems would begin in J17. In J15 & 16 after pressing
enter on the Settings Option I can tab through all the various options but,
with J17 I had to turn the virtual cursor off, Insert + Z, before I could
navigate through this menu. After some playing around in Jaws 17's Quick
Settings, Insert + V, I found that having these 2 settings set the way
they're
shown below allowed me to navigate the Settings Menu with J17 using the tab
key just like with J15 & J16, without having to turn the virtual cursor off.
This might not work for everyone but, it worked for me & it's something
y'all
can try if you experience the same thing I encountered.
Here are the 2 settings as they should be:
Heading and Frame Options
Frame show start & end, should be checked.
In line frames show, should be on.
Note: For Chrome settings purposes, you want in-line frames on. for website
navigation purposes, to skip past ads, you want in-line frames off. The
point
remains that, ideally, when we consider a suggestion to change a setting to
solve one problem, we should be aware of the consequences of the change.
Hope this helps others than myself.
Take care.
Mike

Hi. I want to look at settings in Chrome. However, when I press enter on
"Settings" in the Chrome menu, all I get is a window with the word
"settings"
in it. Nothing works: enter, right-click, applications key, alt.
It stays static.
When I ask JAWS what kind of window it is, I get the following message, and
I'm wondering if anyone knows what I should do:
Window Classes - Chrome
New Class Assigned Classes
Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND
Assign to:
3State
Button
CheckBox
ComboBox
Dialog
Edit
EditCombo
ExtendedSelectListBox
Graphic
GroupBox
HeaderBar
HotKey
OK Cancel Add Class Remove Class
For Help, press INSERT+F1
