Eleanor, Tony and Dominique,
Google Chrome has improved greatly and is now very usable with NVDA and JAWS.
Try the mp3 below and see if you can do the same.

I thought that Crome was not very accessible for people with screen readers
so a little puzzled as to why you are posting this.

Google Chrome and Internet Explorer: What's changed in the world of web
browsers?
<image001.jpg>
New statistics have revealed that Google Chrome is on the verge of overtaking
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer as the most used web browser in the world.
If so it would bring to an end a period of complete dominance Microsoft has
so far enjoyed in the digital age, where their Internet Explorer browser has
been the go-to way of exploring the internet for 20 years.
So, what is Chrome?
<image002.jpg>(Mark Lennihan/AP) Chrome is Google’s own-made web browser,
that launched in 2008 and works across not just Windows, but also Apple’s Mac
line-up of desktop and laptops, as well as smartphones and tablets running
iOS, Android and Windows.
At a time when few alternatives were available to Internet Explorer on
Windows, Chrome offered a simplistic approach to navigating the internet,
including the merging of the address bar and search bar that was a key
selling point at the time, and would soon become common practice across
different browsers.
Why is Internet Explorer now in decline?
(Damian Dovarganes/AP) Having for years been the default option on millions
of computers – particularly in offices around the world – IE has long since
been outstripped by its rivals. Apple’s Safari, as well as Chrome and Mozilla
Firefox and Opera are all seen as faster, more usable browsers – and given
that they’re available across many platforms, these days users now have far
more choice than in the past.
Microsoft is also slowly phasing out Internet Explorer, confirming that it
would stop supporting versions earlier than IE 11 from January this year.
This forced many users to either update to a newer version of Explorer or
make the jump to Windows 10, where it has been replaced by the new browser,
Edge.
In both these cases, many chose to go elsewhere.
Is the end of IE then?
<image003.jpg>(Steven Senne/AP) Long term, it would appear that Microsoft
would like to get everyone onto Windows 10 and that would mean saying goodbye
to Explorer. Deals have been struck with governments and other big businesses
to keep supporting older versions for some years to come, so IE isn’t going
to disappear completely any time soon, but the software’s best days are most
definitely long gone.
When will Chrome take over as most used?
<image004.jpg>(Paul Sakuma/AP) If the figures continue to move as they are,
Chrome is likely to take top spot by this summer, though it could be sooner
if Chrome uptake speeds up.
Chrome’s appeal has always been how universal it is across devices, and soon
that will tell in the market share numbers.
