[nvda] Re: Google Chrome still not accessible after almost two years

It is, it's about as fast as my geeked and tweaked Firefox, probably
faster. Pity, because I hear al these people going 'oh try Chrome for
the liteweight netbooks that Firefox lags on!!' Well google, I can't
because you're ignorant of my access needs... Might just send 'em
another email reminding them about the ADA (as if that would actually
help...) Bet Safari isn't worth looking at either, seems like all
people care about is IE and Firefox. Firefox is probably the best
well-rounded browser, but there's Opera, Chrome, Sefari, Epiphone
(Linux), and probably ten more I forgot.  I'm really getting tired of
the non access, only being tied of using one of two browser and
blatent carelessness of Google's new flashy browser.
