Could those issues with the Google Chrome edit boxes and such be fixable
by the Freedom Scientific Jaws team you think?

[JAWS-Users] Google Chrome is totally accessible
Hello,
I have found several issues with Chrome. First, quite a few edit boxes
will not allow you to edit what you type in. When you try and navigate
by word or character you either get JAWS saying blank or nothing at
all. This is really evident on Google's own home page in the search
edit field. Secondly, you can use Control plus L to get to what Chrome
calls the omni box. This is just the address and search bar. If I do a
search here I can edit what I type in fine. However the problem is
when I click on one of the links in the search results I get stuck in
that omni box and cannot get to the page I clicked on. Thirdly, it is
very difficult to work with bookmarks. The bookmark manager, similar
to FireFoxs, does not work good at all unles you turn off the virtual
cursor with JAWS plus Z. If it were not for these issues I would most
likely be using Chrome as my default browser because it is very fast.
Also you can get to the tool bars in Chrome very easily unlike in
FireFox where I have to use the touch cursor to get to them.
Regards,
Greg Wocher

the one thing I noticed is that after pressing alt instead of
navigating left and right as in internet explorer in chrome you
navigate up and down!

Hi all.
I have been experimenting with Google Chrome Browser, and I have found
that it is very accessible and easy to use. More than that, I can
open the
same web site in half the time as with IE or Firefox. It never crashes,
and it is more stable than any other browser. It is the best browser
when
it comes to streaming videos and other media by far. The video never
pauses for example. In IE, the same video pauses a few times for a few
seconds. Also, Google Chrome is the easiest browser to use. Yes, I
am not
kidding. Simply press enter on the browser, and the home page opens. I
have mine set to Google of course. Now, just press alt and the screen
reader will say chrome button. If you press down arrow, every
setting and
menu you will ever need is in that one vertical column. The history,
delete history, book marks, are all in that one vertical menu just by
pressing the alt key on the home page. All navigation JAWS short cut
keys
work in Google Chrome. I have not found anything yet that is not
accessible. Also, every JAWS key command works in Chrome just like
in IE.
You can just press alt + D for the address bar for example. I will
continue to play around with Google Chrome a little more, and I will be
ready to do an Audio tutorial for you guys. You will not believe
just how
much better Google Chrome is over any other browser. You will hear
it with
your own ears when I send you the tutorial probably by Friday. I
know some
of you will use Chrome as your default browser. God bless and have a
great
night. Talk to all of you soon.
