Re: Is Edge usable as a browser with JAWS?
John Holcomb II <jhii926@...>
One thing I like about edge is that it tells you when page is complete and loading. I also like how the notification is so clear. It’ll say something like press alt+N, for this notification. It says: XYZ XYZ XYZ. I like this a lot.

I use Chrome too, for the most part. I’ve tried edge and it does seem to work with both JAWS and NVDA. There are some oddities with JAWS, for example the speech announces entering and exiting various elementswhen navigation keys are used.
However, my experience with Edge is not at all extensive. I don’t yet need it for professional purposes (I work on accessibility research and standards activities, for which Chrome and Firefox are enough). I also use Chrome and safari on the Mac regularly, so it isn’t as though I’m lacking options in the browser department.
Edge is well worth watching. Microsoft developers have been improving its accessibility support in impressive ways, including ARIA and HTML standards.

Maybe, the problem for me is that I am about 26 times faster with Chrome and Jaws than I would be with Edge and Narrator. Hence I use Chrome.

Hi, Keith. I use Edge for some things like Internet radio streaming, but it has some nasty querks, like displaying pages in tabular form, even when the page doesn’t display as a table in other browsers.

Hi,
I’m new to Windows 10, and currently using Google Chrome as my default browser, which is working well.
I haven’t heard mention recently about usability of Edge browser with JAWS, so I’m guessing it’s still is not a viable option, but wanted to check by inquiring here.

I use IE or Firefox. IE more than the fox. I also use edge on my used windows 10 laptop. So I think they both support extensions. Your results only linked to the chrome store.

Until they make access to the browser's own controls less tabby, I'll be avoiding edge. I have enough problems without a poor interface.

Re: getting rid of adverts when on a website
The uBlock Origin extension (and add-on, if you're using Firefox) and uBlock Origin Extra extension (Chrome only) are great.
I haven't used a web browser without an ad blocker of some sort for a very long time now, and I used AdBlock Plus for years and still think it's very good, too. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Safely remove nay only come up if write caching is in use. Just make sure nothing is writing to the drive and pull it. If that freaks you you then use sleep mode that will stop writes and clear the cache.

The company later acknowledged that a staff programmer made a change to an algorithm that created many hate speech false positives. If you were to buy an Office 2016 DVD, your access to Access, Word and other Office programs will never be denied for grounds of simply having a political opinion, or someone’s arbitrary determination of hate speech or engaging in illegal activity of a law you knew nothing about.

Re: Is Edge usable as a browser with JAWS?

Hi, Keith. I use Edge for some things like Internet radio streaming, but it has some nasty querks, like displaying pages in tabular form, even when the page doesn’t display as a table in other browsers.

Hi,
I’m new to Windows 10, and currently using Google Chrome as my default browser, which is working well.
I haven’t heard mention recently about usability of Edge browser with JAWS, so I’m guessing it’s still is not a viable option, but wanted to check by inquiring here.
Curious to learn of it’s current status.
Thanks in advance, Keith
