Re: Chrome and it's excess ability on the Mac and iOS
ChromeVox is the screen reader for the ChromeOS operating system from Google. It's also a screen reading extension for the Chrome browser. I know you can run Chrome with ChromeVox on Windows, Linux and maybe the Mac. I'm not sure if it's possible to run it on the Chrome browser on IOS or Android.

Re: Chrome and it's excess ability on the Mac and iOS
Actually, last I knew, Apple forced 3rd party browsers to use an older web infrastructure then what's available to Safari, so if you're using Chrome or Firefox then you may not get the same performance that you're seeing with Safari. There are reasons to use other browsers though. You may like the interface of the other browsers better. Another browser may handle some web pages better. I know I switched to Chrome because I just had so many problems with Safari and a web page I frequented a lot. You can also sync things like your favourites, log in ID's, open tabs and so on across all devices running a browser. Since I run Windows and Linux in addition to IOS, I like using Chrome and hope to start using Firefox soon because I also run these browsers on these other platforms.

I have found that some elements cannot be clicked on, particularly clickable text that functions as a link, but is created using java script. I think chromevox does have its place, and can be useful when accessing certain sites with chrome, and the good thing is, you can have chromevox installed and enable or disable it as desired. For browsing on the mac, safari is my primary browser, but I will turn to chrome if safari has problems with a particular site.
