Article: Microsoft will replace edge with chrome-based browser for windows 10

Jacob Kruger #51548 https://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/288342-microsoft-will-replace-edge-with-chrome-based-browser-for-windows-10-report.html They don't mention anything like time-scale, but, presume this will mean NVDA devs, etc. can leave out too much worrying about edge buffering compatibility?

Ron Canazzi #51550 Hi Jacob, The only issue I have had with NVDA and Edge is the inability of NVDA to recognize visited links. I have used Edge with great success on and off over the past year or so--although I do prefer Firefox as my default browser. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 12/5/2018 5:50 AM, Jacob Kruger wrote: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/288342-microsoft-will-replace-edge-with-chrome-based-browser-for-windows-10-report.html They don't mention anything like time-scale, but, presume this will mean NVDA devs, etc. can leave out too much worrying about edge buffering compatibility?

Jacob Kruger #51551 Ron, while I, honestly, haven't bothered trying out edge too much, all I really meant with my comment was that, if MS themselves are discarding it, then it might not merit much more attention from the NVDA developers? And, if it's going to come up in it's current state at times, then, hopefully NVDA versions won't get confused about how they should handle it - if differently at all. But, I primarily just posted this article here since I found it interesting from a browser end-user point of view.

Mallard <mallard@...> #51552 I love Edge, because it can read epub ebooks without problems.

Brian's Mail list account #51563 All we need now is for them to announce a return to normal menu bars etc as a format choice in their software and the ability to still get security updates to 10 without a 6 month re install of windows with its attendant cock ups and the need to relearn how to do things and we will be fine......

Brian's Mail list account #51564 Yes the fact is there are cut down versions of chrome and firefox et all out there that have no accessibility whatsoever so it is presumably the choice of the company using the engine how they enable access. I just hope that if this proves to be true, they do not make such a cock up with it as they did in the start of Edge. Brian who hopes the Skype programmers are not in charge of it :-) bglists@...

Felix G. #51573 Don't worry, I have every reason to believe they are very much committed to accessibility. The transition to UIA was for very valid reasons even though it created some uncomfortable moments, but that's what happens for most paradigm shifts. Let's all make liberal use of the feedback hub when things break for us. All the best, Felix Am Mi., 5.
