The problem with chrome taht I ahve seen is that it does nto read any menus or bookmarks or anything. So it's still not usable.

I fired up the latest Google chrome, as I do from time to time, to play around with it, and I noticed that jaws 12 started reading me the page. First I thought, oh cute, the virtual cursor recognition finally got smart enough to recognize the chrome window as non-static text, but then I said, hmm, that's reading awfully well, so I hit h and navigated by header, and I went to different URLs, and they all read correctly. Further investigation shows that jaws is aliasing chrome to Firefox. The Firefox scripts, in fact, are what is loaded if you do an insert+q. So, apparently no longer is NVDA the only windows screen reader that supports chrome. Good to see, I thought. Btw, I checked, and sure enough, the line: chrome=Firefox appears in the default confignames.ini shipping with jaws. Would have been nice to know ... just a thought.
