It's improved, but still not great in many respects. You can use Edge with JAWS 2018 and (I think) the very latest/last update of JAWS 18. I would use Firefox or Chrome first, unless you really just feel like taking Edge for a test drive for the hell of it. -Original Message- From:

Yes! I can hardly use IE with JAWS anymore on my Win10 1709 laptops. Chrome is so much better than JAWS. The Chrome browser is much faster, more secure, and very accessible. IE 11, is about done with using any screen reader. I would definitely switch to Firefox, or Chrome, Chrome even better.
