Re: State of Web Browser Accessibility I have both JAWS and NVDA, purely in the interests of objectivity. FWIW, it wasnt so much the crashing for me, though I realise this can be a problem for some people, more the massive spikes in CPU load that make both the browser very unresponsive

Re: State of Web Browser Accessibility Yeah, I remember when Electrolysis was first being discussed. I really hope they push this through.I used JFW mostly for the usual screen-scraping suspects, and NVDA for the Windows OS. I havent been using NVDA in a good while, though, so I have yet
