Hi all,
 
First of all am I right in thinking that Jaws doesn't officially support
Google Chrome?
 
Secondly anyone has tried Chrome with Jaws and has any useful hints to
share?
 
I've installed Chrome and I'm giving it a try at the moment. And let me say,
I am truly amazed how fast it is. I read and heard about Chrome being faster
than other browsers before but I wasn't anticipating this jaw dropping
speed. I thought it was just another hype.
 
It is definitely usable with Jaws 13: you can brows and read pages, interact
with edit fields and links etc. However, things like interacting with popup
notifications and menu items are not working properly. So I'm looking for
any useful tips please.
 
Lastly, any news whether Jaws will support Chrome any time soon? It seems to
me that there's only so little work to be done at the moment for Jaws to
fully support it.
 
Cheers,
Amro
