Paul,

There are some forms on Web sites that Chrome does a better job at filling in than either Internet Explorer or Firefox. On one or two occasions, I saw necessary buttons there that I didn't see with either of the other two browsers. So, Yes, Firefox or Internet Explorer are better for many of the Web sites we would regularly use, but when difficulties present themselves there it is as well to have Google Chrome in the toolbox.

Hi Cearbhall,

Screen reader accessibility with Chrome is very flakey, best leave it alone
for now.

Hi everyone,

I have been exploring the settings and menus in Google Chrome on my 64bit
laptop using NVDA 2015.3 under windows 7. It is quite different from either
Firefox (my current default) and internet explorer as it does not have a
menu bar as such.

I was worried in case I could not use NVDA to edit data in the search box
and other editable fields. I find that I can enter url data in the Main Tool
bar at the top of the screen and in the settings menu to define my startup
page.
However, I cannot see or edit text that I type in the search field.

Is there any way for me to do this?


All the best,

Cearbhall
