I thought Control-L is the Windows command for accessing the address bar.
At least that's how it works in IE and Firefox. Are you saying that
Control-L works differently in Google Chrome and accesses the search edit
field instead of the address bar?

If Google Chrome is so accessible, as you claim, then why have so many other
JAWS users reported otherwise? And how come even Eric Damery himself has
discouraged JAWS users from using Chrome? The last time I tried Chrome,
about a month ago, after it was surreptitiously installed along with the
latest version of CCleaner, I couldn't even locate the search edit field
using JAWS 16 running Windows 7, let alone perform any searches.

Hi all.
I have been experimenting with Google Chrome Browser, and I have found that
it is very accessible and easy to use. More than that, I can open the same
web site in half the time as with IE or Firefox. It never crashes, and it is
more stable than any other browser. It is the best browser when it comes to
streaming videos and other media by far. The video never pauses for example.
In IE, the same video pauses a few times for a few seconds. Also, Google
Chrome is the easiest browser to use. Yes, I am not kidding. Simply press
enter on the browser, and the home page opens. I have mine set to Google of
course. Now, just press alt and the screen reader will say chrome button. If
you press down arrow, every setting and menu you will ever need is in that
one vertical column. The history, delete history, book marks, are all in
that one vertical menu just by pressing the alt key on the home page. All
navigation JAWS short cut keys work in Google Chrome. I have not found
anything yet that is not
accessible. Also, every JAWS key command works in Chrome just like in IE.
You can just press alt + D for the address bar for example. I will continue
to play around with Google Chrome a little more, and I will be ready to do
an Audio tutorial for you guys. You will not believe just how much better
Google Chrome is over any other browser. You will hear it with your own ears
when I send you the tutorial probably by Friday. I know some of you will use
Chrome as your default browser. God bless and have a great night. Talk to
all of you soon.
