Hi: I have experimented with Google Chrome. Basically, i like it, it seems to load webpages faster and I can browse the web much like I can with Firefox or Internet Explorer. If I want to play audio such as a podcast, I can do it successfully just like internet Explorer, and the page navigation keys are the same in Google Chrome as the other two browsers that I have mentioned. It'The Google Chrome menu is different than the other two browsers, but that is not difficult to learn. The only two problems that I have with Google Chrome and Window-eyes are that the do the mouse navigation keys do not work and when I am reading an email or any other document on the web some characters do not appear in the text. If these two problems could, or would be solved, I think that Google Chrome might be superior to either Firefox or Internet Explorer.
