Hi Carlos,
Well, it’s been good and bad. Yesterday a friend sent me a couple email
messages with links to videos. They were not YouTube videos, but something
called Video Share, or something like that. In Safari there was no way I could
get the videos to play. One of the video links took me to a page and all VO
would say is Empty page, however, a sighted person said there was a play button
at the bottom of the page. I tried using item chooser, but no luck. When I
attempted the same links in Google Chrome, the videos played fine.
I like having Google Chrome and Safari so that I can switch between the two
depending on which works best on certain pages.
On my banking site, using Google Chrome, when paying a bill, VO does not
initially read the popups that allow me to choose an account and choose a
payee. If I tab around for a bit, it finally reads them. Safari works great on
my banking site.
I know this isn’t much help, but, I’d say install Google Chrome and give it a
try. It does work better than Safari on some websites.
