I checked some of the reviews of Chrome, and apparently, the features
that
make it so appealing to sighted users make it incompatible with JAWS.
For
instance, Chrome has no title bar and only a very limited menu bar. This
means that FS would have to modify JAWS substantially to make it work
with
Chrome. This would be a waste of precious resources when we already have
two browsers in IE and Firefox that work pretty well with JAWS. It would
be
great if all software applications worked with JAWS right out of the box
without need for modification or scripting, but of course, that's simply
impossible.
