Yes, same here, exactly. Well, I have Edge on this machine too, but to be honest I haven't even really opened it. NVDA's web support is fantastic. JAWS probably has better Office support. Since I don't have any more JAWS upgrades on my ILM, I'll very likely end up doing most web-browsing with nVDA in future unless that changes. It's fine. We have all these tools; the only thinking stopping us, is time. Granted it can take time to learn a new piece of software. Luckily the WWW was made to be kind of universal and most browsers have similar operating principles. And it's not like we haven't had forewarning. Sure, IE will continue to receive security updates until at least 2020 (2025 if we're going to be optimistic, even), but we all know the web itself is going to change a good deal before then, so there's more at stake than mere security.

There are certain web pages that just don't work well with a certain browser, but will work much better with another. I have Firefox, Chrome and IE on my PC and use them all depending on the circumstance. I also have NVDA in addition to JAWS, for the same reason. The more tools available, the better, in my opinion.

My primary browser is Firefox and has been for the last few years. I also have Chrome on this machine and have used it a little. They both work well, but I'd still give the edge (hah) to Firefox. I think Chrome support has gotten really good in JAWS 2018, latest build. I do not have this. The Firefox interface is a little more like that of iE, so you would probably find that switch simpler. But really, there's no reason not to have both on your machine. Keep your options open. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Schrade Sent: February 23, 2018 2:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] migrating to a different web browser I suspect this may be a lot of personal preference but, if I want to switch from IE11 to another browser... Of Chrome and Firefox, which works better with jaws? Then, which has a smaller learning curve. I'm almost 70 and don't really want to change but, some websites I frequent are making it necessary.
