Actually, last I knew, Apple forced 3rd party browsers to use an older
web infrastructure then what's available to Safari, so if you're using
Chrome or Firefox then you may not get the same performance that you're
seeing with Safari.
There are reasons to use other browsers though. You may like the
interface of the other browsers better. Another browser may handle some
web pages better. I know I switched to Chrome because I just had so many
problems with Safari and a web page I frequented a lot.
You can also sync things like your favourites, log in ID's, open tabs
and so on across all devices running a browser. Since I run Windows and
Linux in addition to IOS, I like using Chrome and hope to start using
Firefox soon because I also run these browsers on these other platforms.

On I O S, Apple requires that all browsers use the safari engine to
display web pages, so, really, there is not much benefit to using
another browser besides safari itself, unless having your history on
another browser sync to another device is important to you. Chrome on
the mac is useable with voiceover, though it doesn't work as well as
safari. I have found that some elements cannot be clicked on,
particularly clickable text that functions as a link, but is created
using java script. I think chromevox does have its place, and can be
useful when accessing certain sites with chrome, and the good thing is,
you can have chromevox installed and enable or disable it as desired.
For browsing on the mac, safari is my primary browser, but I will turn
to chrome if safari has problems with a particular site.
Original message:
I recently saw that there is an update for chrome for iOS. I don't
know about the Mac side. But I am sending this to both lists because I
am interested in the current state of the excess ability of this
browser on both platforms. I am not interested in learning chromevox,
as I think it is stupid to have to learn a whole new convoluted set of
keystrokes just to use one program. And in my long history of using
computers, I have gone through enough learning and unlearning of
keystrokes, that I feel I have earned the right to have excess ability
without having to learn yet another set of them, which will not be
applicable to the whole system. So, what kind of excess ability can I
have on the Mac with chrome using Yosemite and voiceover? How about on
iOS running iOS 9?
