oh, lightning also uses the same web kit as Safari?
OK, I was under the impression it didn't.
Sorry for all the confusion.
Chris.

Chrome Canary uses the same engine as Safari as does Lightning.
Lightning uses Web Kit, but it's a much faster browser than Safari.

No no, she's saying Chrome is using the same engine. I don't think
Lightning does.

Well, I think you said it also works on the same engine as safari, so I
don't know that it will solve the problem I have. I may give it a shot at
some point though. Thank you.

Oh. Ok then. I guess it won't help me any. Anyone have a suggestion for
another browser I might try that will work with VoiceOver?

Chrome Canary runs on the same Web Kit engine as Safari, so you
will have the same results with websites. The regular Google Chrome
with ChromeVox is different. It its still not ready fro prime time,
but definitely works well with Google Docs.

I use lightning myself. it works on the same engine as safari but it
works a lot faster on some sights like my podcasting one.
I tried crome but it didn't work all that well and I think that was
sometime this year.
Take care all.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to trying it. I have trouble on some
sites with safari, and I'm hoping maybe this will work better for
me. Thanks for talking about it. I had not heard of this particular
one before and I'm always hesitant to try browsers and things until
I hear from others what experience they've had. I'd say I'm kind of
a medium skill computer person and so I don't often get adventurous
unless I have reason to believe I should be able to work things out.

Holy dynomite! does, it, ever! I'd very highly suggest doing a
google search for:
download+google canary
It should be the first result that pops up.
then use your vo commands, and find the button that says something
to the effect of agree and download.
then just open the dmg and install it like normal.
If you wanna set it as your default browser like I did, then oddly
enough, go into Safari, and hit command+comma, then go to the
general tab. In there, there's a popup button which'll let you
select google Canary as the default. I dono why you have to do it
that way, but it works, trust me.
You can! install Chromvox from the Chrome Store, but I couldn't
seem to get the thing to work correctly. I got it installed, and
talking, but when I hit the modifier key which is basically your vo
keys: control and option, I get nothing with the other keys. It's
totally strange. I'm telling you though, it works flawlessly! with
voiceover by itself right outta the box. Just navigate the same
way you would in Safari, and explore your menu bar.
It works very very nicely!
Chris.
