At least in Jaws 12 and 13, Chrome seems to be almost as good as Firefox as
far as being able to browse with it, except for every now and then when the
virtual buffer doesn't kick in to let you read the page, but the problem
with some of these programs' installers is that they set the stuff as
default which is likely not what most wanted to happen. Maybe some of the
checkboxes to turn it off don't speak either. I remember it's either
CCleaner or Advanced System Care that turns inline autocomplete back on in
Internet Explorer when you run it, which for using Jaws is one of the most
annoying things having it speak partial ends of words as you try to type in
the address bar, so I keep turning it off.

Try insert+space bar, o, then w. You can sometimes get further information
by using this technique. If after doing this you see something like "a
faster way to brows" or anything other than what you see using
conventional methods, click on it. It will then put you in a web page
where you can select whether or not to install Chrome and the toolbar.

That's the problem. I could not find any check box for installing Google
Chrome anywhere on the downloader interface, and I checked each page
carefully with the JAWS cursor. I wound up removing it using Revo
Uninstaller. If anyone else can find the elusive check box for
installing Chrome, please let me knoe how to locate it so that I do not
get screwed over again the next time I install a new version of CCleaner.

Gerald,
Unfortunately that's quite normal with 'modern' software installers.
It's either Ask or Chrome or a few similar bun unnecessary, but you have
the option to uncheck the install box during setup, IF of course you can
find it.
So now you can use C Cleaner to un install chrome.

I just downloaded the latest version of CCleaner, version 5.0.2, from
the JAWS Users programs page, and received a very nasty surprise. In
addition to installing CCleaner, Google Chrome was also installed, much
to my chagrin. Using the JAWS cursor to examine the installation
options in the user interface, I did not come across any check box or
other means of preventing Google Chrome from being installed along with
CCleaner. I do not remember having this problem in the past, so it
looks like Puriform is now forcing Chrome down your throat whether you
want it or not. Chrome is still not especially JAWS accessible, and
removing it is a real pain. Therefore, I suggest that a warning be
added to the CCleaner download link that downloading and installing
CCleaner will also result in the installation of Google Chrome, which
is nothing but unwanted crapware for most JAWS users.
