Good to hear Curtis.
It has improved significantly over past year or so.
Frankly even MS Edge is coming along nicely of late.

Allen et al:

I am trying Chrome again, and I find it seems to work better now. I found an
add-on for navigational sounds, which I kind of like in a web browser. There
is a slight latency in terms of refreshing the screen, but my limited
exposure today indicates that Chrome is not as bad as I once thought it was.
It is a bit different from Internet Explorer and Firefox in that it doesn't
have a menu bar as such, but once you figure that out, you can go in and
make settings changes, etc.

I was able to fill out a time sheet (the Share system from PeopleSoft) with
Chrome now.

I still feel more comfortable with Firefox, but I am guessing that comfort
comes with familiarity and not with any functional limitations of Chrome.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Curtis:
Can you share a page demonstrating this problem with Chrome, and what
version this is regarding?
Within past month or so I was playing with JavaScript and JQuery, using
select of table cells and content in them.  I was able to navigate in Chrome
all the cells empty or not using NVDA 2017.1 and chrome (have to get on
other computer to identify Chrome version).  Also, do you know if the tables
in question had header cells, any header/cell association, e.g. ID or scope,
etc?

I will do some in-depth testing of this as I believe clarity for such things
is essential to get remediation completed in a timely fashion by the
developer community.  So, could be NVDA, JAWS, or Chrome problem but without
such details root-cause analysis is not really feasible.

Indeed, but Chrome fails to work well with screen access technology in cases
where there are tables with empty cells.
