Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? I actually have the opposite problem, I can watch videos just fine on ie but even with updating stuff on firefox I can't watch most stuff on it anyhow.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? Here's another problem I'm having with IE lately. I can watch videos fine on youtube, but if I try to watch any live stream, I get the following message: Your browser does not currently recognise any of the video formats available. I have up-to-date flash player installed and enabled, and I have no trouble watching streams on firefox, so have no idea what is wrong with IE. Googling or clicking the links that come with the error message have produced no answers.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? @TheoUnless others got ideas, you are "stuck." Jaws 18 is the "minimum" for Edge to work "decently," and by default the setting to make it work at all isn't "on" within the "Quick Settings."

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? I'm currently using jaws 16, and Microsoft Edge is completely unaccessible to me. Is it at all possible to use Edge without upgrading my jaws? Is there some setting I need to change, or am I stuck using IE until I upgrade jaws?

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? Microsoft Edge already more or less works with screen readers. Both NVAccess and Freedom Scientific are working with Microsoft on Edge accessibility (they literarly have meetings every few months to discuss Windows Accessibility). The reason it's not yet anywhere as polished as Chrome, Firefox or IE is that for Edge, Microsoft has started doing what Apple has been for a while and making the screen reader do less of the work, relying more on the Operating system and the browser to make websites accessible. It's a big change from the virtual buffor aproach that has been used for the last 18 years or so. Once everyone has gotten used to working this way it will work much better with modern apps that now try very hard to feel like normal applications.Marco Zehe who works with Mozilla did a far better job explaining this and his post is absolutely worth a read if you're curious why Edge support is taking as long as it is to get right.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? Well, IE was one of my first real web expiriences, it's sad to see it go down like this. How ever, I have switched to edge ever sinse I have started to use nvda again after system access, witch didn't work at all on edge, even worser is that some of the good features of SA that worked in IE didn't work at all in edge but that's the different story. How ever, latest NVDA version and Microsoft edge work great, only bad thing is that for some reason you cant navigate by vizited/unvisited links and some other cool stuf but some basic stuf like headings and links still work. All in all Microsoft edge isn't as bad is you all may think it is. n Well, it at least isn't for me URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=340398#p340398 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? Well to be honest ie is still usefull for things like gmail because basic html you can't switch it by default without it aparently, and I really don't care for the inaccessible graphic shit they call an interface even though there are supposed to be accessibility guides I just can't get the hang of it.As for firefox, I am completely off firefucks!The major concern I had with it well several are at least 3 fold.The first is the multiprocesser stages they have on it will cause websites like youtube, nasa and others to become unresponsive and cause the pc fan to race and the cpu to go full bore.Thats not really helpfull.Next the new web extentions.While in theory I like the idea of a more secure experience they took the top level infobar like menu and but puttons which we as blind users can't access so new noscript etc just doesn't work.I did manage to get it working, however with their article on accessibility slowing things down and or causing spyware issues my suspicians are they probably don't care for blind users any fucking more and I don't either.Chrome, the biggest issue for me is 7 and the fact a lot of stuff is unknown.While it did have promise after I cleared my drive off with disk cleanup it happily womped bits of my addons which I had to reinstall for sound.I use waterfox from waterfoxproject.org.Its got no issue, optional multi cpus which is off, no tracking, no spying, aparently, and runs the old addon systems.Its not a mozilla thing either.Its aparently supported by an environmentally friendly search engine to.The only drawbacks I have seen so far as while it does not have all the extra stuff mozilla has it also uses a slightly older engine.So things like all the extra filetypes you enjoyed like mp3, ogg, zip and other archive types forget it you will have to set these manually when they come up.It supports some web playback, and pdfs natively but thats all.However unlike firefox I don't have inaccessible addon settings or missing menus.I don't care about the spying everyone does it but the fact is that now I am running a crapless brouser now which the devs promise to keep xul and xpcom the tech supporting old addon types even have an addon store well cool.Ofcause noscript and a lot of other things will not get updates after firefox 59 so if you need the latest updates this aint for you.It allows for installing what you want, sadly the drawback means you could probably get an malware attack from an addon but as long as you don't install opencandy, install core and etc be carefull you are ok.It does state that this thing is for geeks and those that know what they are doing though.I have found it quite fast, there are no lags etc.However it must be a few engine versions back from 56.You don't get advanced things like podcasts, pocket, shields or anything.Its basically languages and thats it.A simple shell over the mozilla core what firefox was like 2-6 years back.I'd actually prefer a 56.0 version of the firefox with the extras but on the other hand this thing just doesn't care that much and is stable.The reason I didn't drop to 52.x esr is that I never found an accessible user agent to run and at any rate, it woud upgrade to 59 or 57 anyway eventually.I am happy I use this version.The last update was october but as I said this aint mozilla.I could care less about fully being secure, I just want something that works right now.I know there are probably safer ways to handle things like screen readers but to be honest we are not there yet and with what mozilla is saying, and the fact thunderbird hasn't been updated in ages I do wander what is going on with the company.Its clear though that no blind person ever tested firefox, because the 2 holes are the buttons and limitations on web addon ui etc. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=340394#p340394 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? actually the main reason I use IE rather than firefox on a daily basis is that some of the video sites I use won't play for some reason with firefox, saying needed stuff isn't there even though I'm pretty updated, and also on the game Storium, a game I play several times a day every day, for some reason some buttons don't work on the page for either Chrome or Firefox that work fine on IE, though the develpers of the game and site have tried to replicate my issue, they haven't been able.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? @SirBadger my firefox just updated to 57, and even though I reinstalled 56 and set automatic updates to never, it did it again next time it restarted.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? It's just a shame edge is such a pain in the ars, I'd be in much more favor of an updated ie than a complete change, but then again this is how microsoft works, what anyone wants or what we've done in the past, you'll change and like it! It would be a problem if I were still relying on Supernova as my main screen reader, since while windows 10 support is improving, I think ie is still the browser Supernova behaves with. I do believe they're working on Edge support, but Edge is still not the best alternative access wise out there, so it's chrome for me at the moment with nvda, albeit I do wish either Nvda or chrome would fix the issues I mentioned, still it's at least better to be working with something that doesn't freeze on me and plays nice with pretty much all websites I've come across.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? @bookrage consider either updating your JAWS if possible, or using NVDA. Then you'll find both Chrome and Firefox to work quite well (I use Chrome with JAWS 18 on occasion, so I know for a fact it works)Microsoft has basically put IE on life support at this point. The only thing they're probably going to do is patching security vulnerabilities. However, while IE has now stopped, the web certainly hasn't. A lot of things that iE used to need external plugins for, like video playback, are now handled by built-in features of the browsers. And this is good, both for accessibility and also for security and performance and battery life. IE used to be really famous for doing things in very nonstandard ways (IE the way it displayed webpages and processed CSS stylesheets), which developers had to hack around. Not much changed in that aspect because now they have to hack in functionality that isn't natively supported. But this is very time consuming and not always possible, so while you see big sites like all Google products or Facebook still work, although not very fast, many smaller sites may not have the time or resources to kater to a web browser which is very rapidly shrinking in popularity.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? I've noticed a lot of websites kicking off at me lately and saying my browser is out of date and to check for updates or install edge. this is why I'm switching to firefox but that's got it's own issues now too. I'm running version 56 which works ok but soon that'll be unsupported as well.never tried crome I may have a play with it.I've also noticed some websites in IE refusing to play content or even open links and they tell me to turn off compatibility mode.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? actually Ie has proved the most accessable and usable browser for me for some reason. I'm still using JAWS 15 but Firefox and Chrome have been producing significant problems. IE does indeed crash more but in terms of general site navigation and such it has proven the best of the 3 with Firefox being slightly crappier and Chrome being a piece of garbage that is almost unusable for even the simplest things.

Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable?
Re: First signs of IE becoming unusable? Hmmm, I am just trying Ie on this forum now, and haven't had the notification you speak of, but I am afraid I do agree that Ie is getting rather problematic these days.I've found a lot of freezing, even on comparatively normal websites such as blogs, a lot of more complex games such as space company and rebuild the universe, as well display issues with things like Paypal. I do hope Microsoft update the thing, I did hear a rumour that they were planning on amalgamating edge and Ie into one browser, with more of the classic Ie layout and feel but some of edge's features, though whether this is still in the cards I don't know.Still if not Google Chrome and Nvda are proving a rather nice combination, albeit I do wish bookmark management was a little easier in chrome, and download notifications and progress bars were a little more logical, also I would like a way to disable tabbed browsing in Chrome the way I have it in Ie since I prefer extra windows to tabs and it's a little easy to have too many tabs open at once if they don't close correctly. If Ie had the speed and compatibility with modern sites Chrome does, I probably would still use it for the familiarity if nothing else, but as that isn't the I'll probably stick with Chrome for the time being.
