I'm using the same version. When Chrome and JAWS work together, moving from page to page is much, much faster than with either IE or FF, but I keep encountering websites where data can't be entered. The latest is Yahoo Finance, where stock symbols can't be entered.
Two tips: I kept getting a warning about Chrome not being the default. I finally heard that JAWS was telling me to press alt-shift-a. When I did so, I tabbed through to "Don't ask again" and checked it. Control-d works to create a favorite, but initially I couldn't edit the name that popped up. However, you can tab to an edit field and create your own name. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of john.falter via Jfw Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 3:50 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: john.falter Subject: Re: Google Chrome is totally accessible Hi Ted: Chrome Version 46.0.2490.80 is the version I'm using. It seems to be working better than ever before. I don't know how to get feeds, and I think webvisum is not available. On 11/6/2015 3:10 PM, Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS) via Jfw wrote: > Didn't work so great in 15 or 16 either on 7 64.
