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.

We are not talking about them, I made no comments about them, I won't
make any comments about them. We are talking about Google, who has had,
in recent years, quite a good track record when it comes to
accessibility.

Or perhaps we should give them longer than a day before we pass
judgment.
