Fernando and all who've answered my question, Since I still have Win 7 and don't intend to upgrade until I have to, you all have convinced me to stay with firefox and Chrome. I don't need any more frustration in my life than I already have. (grin) Judy & Libby

Specifically for JAWS, unlike NVDA JAWS does not provide Virtual Cursor Support in Edge's browsing area nor any UWP app using the Edge rendering engine other than Mail. Therefore, the only way to use Edge content, which is not convenient, is to use the JAWS Touch Cursor, preferably with Advanced Object Navigation enabled. NVDA is enhancing its Edge support a lot from version to version, but even they still warns of the fact that Edge's reliability with screen readers is far from the expected for everyday browsing. Despite poorness of Edge's accessibility layer, I think it's time for Freedom Scientific to bring at least a minimum support for Edge browser and engine, as UWP apps and Cortana use this engine even when you set another default browser. Redirecting Cortana's web search results to other browser when JAWS is running is not the best solution, especially when searching for local content. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: Sunday, July 9, 2017 12:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Edge Hi, I just wonder if anyone is using Microsoft Edge as a browser. Is it accessible at all? Thanks.
