I have the same problems with Chrome. But when I was prompted to choose a search engine, I chose the first image button. I figure the choices are probably Google, Yahoo and Bing. I'm quite certain Google is the first choice, and I was right. I am able to read an html site, but for some reason, some links don't click. Drop down menus like amazon.com does not work. When I type something in an edit box, apparently it is going into the box, but VoiceOver does not read it back to me. I can't use tab navigation the way I do in Safari. In Chrome Preferences, I can get past the first tab, which is Basic. In my opinion, Chrome is somewhat accessible,but it's not ready to replace Safari. I wish there is something that can replace Safari. At this point, I'm ready to go back to Windows and using Firefox with Jaws or Window-Eyes. At least it's not going to say "Safari busy".
