I can hear the whole google page spoken when I open google chrome up with
nvda. It's a very secure browser too. The jaws 12 and jaws 13 users in
the jaws group are likely to have the most luck with google chrome since
google did most of its work to get that accessible. Three years ago the
adverse reviews about google chrome were well-deserved but things change
with time. T.V. Raman is one of the people working at GooglePlex
responsible for some of these improvements. On Tue, 13 Dec 2011, Kris
