Yes there is, and no it doesn't. Unless JAWS has general WebKit support I don't know about that got piggybacked in with their Chrome support.

Is there a version of safari which runs on Windows? If so, does it play nice with Jaws?Thanks.

Can old dogs learn new tricks? No, you are not too much of an old dog Jim. You are right, tabs makes browsing many pages simultaneously a breeze especially if you have a fast machine. I've read that with Safari one can have the default link action be to open in a new tab and not a new window -- is the same possible for FF? I always forget those shortcuts then fall back to the context menu button and select Open in New Tab, but I know there's a faster way for this.

I like tabs. I also like that when I return to the previous tab, I'm exactly where I left off reading. Recently, with more dynamic pages, it has become more and more unreliable to use the back button to get back to where I was. I'm even experimenting with opening links in a separate browser window on purpose. I'd still like to know, though, if a link is about to open in a separate window, even if it's for informational reasons. JAWS does a good job, though, of telling me that a new tab has opened.
