Tim. I am also an old computer user. By that I don't mean that I use an old computer, although that is also true. But I mean, that I am an old blind man who finds new things daunting. I only know how to use IE as my browser. I do not do very many things with it except go to web sites and read what I find there. I do keep a list of my favorites so I can go back to a website quickly. Other than that, not much. So how does one learn the use of the Chrome browser? I don't even know how to start a chrome browser on my computer, if I had one there. Can you give me a little guidance? How did you learn how to use the Chrome browser?

I Am now using Chrome as my primary browser. Things load more reliably, fewer lockups, more stable streaming video. It was a long time coming for me to make the switch, but I just found more and more times ending up having to use Chrome because IE and Firefox were mis-firing. Yes, Chrome does operate differently and takes a bit of time to get used to, but for purposes of reading what is on the web page, Chrome works the same with JAWS navigation as is the case for IE or Firefox. In fact, my transition to Chrome started by my having links in emails open in Chrome, since that provided me with the web page all ready to read. From there over time I learned the other basics such as saving favorites, and about a month ago realized that Chrome had become my general use browser, so I made the final switch and Chrome is now the default browser for all purposes.

Some commands and menu options are differently named, but it doesn't take long to get used to. For example, the command to go to a URL is CONTROL-L as opposed to CONTROL-O as is the case with IE.
