Unless Chrome achieves a significant portion of the browser market, I highly doubt that FS or the other screen reader purveyors are going to devote substantial resources to making their products accessible with Chrome. At least Firefox commands almost 20% of the browser market, so FS had a compelling reason to make JAWS work with it. So unless Chrome can garner at least 15% of the browser market at IE's expense, FS probably won't even bother to pay any attention to it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Jennette" <dcjenn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm sure the screen reader manufacturers will have to take a look at it. Who knows, maybe it will become accessible in a few months or most likely, years. Remember, Firefox wasn't accessible at the beginning either. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Levy" <bwaylimited@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 8:14 AM Subject: Re: Google ChromeMaybe we should give them a couple of years. Obviously, they had no intention of making Chrome screen reader accessible. Besides, between IE and Firefox, do JAWS users really need another web browser?----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <Bruce@xxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 9:03 AM Subject: Re: Google ChromeOr perhaps we should give them longer than a day before we pass judgment. bruce On Wed, 03 Sep 2008 06:53:25 -0400, "Gerald Levy" <bwaylimited@xxxxxxxxxxx> said:I also tried installing Google Chrome with no success.
