Browsers for the Mac and VoiceOver?

By Jalys Ortiz, 4 March, 2015

Hi, guys!
I was just wondering, but is Safari the only browser that is accessible with VoiceOver? I've tinkered with Chrome, but I find it's not as easy to use as Safari, and Firefox is even worse.
Thanks!

I use chrome with no

I use chrome with no difficulty. I also use safari and webkit which are nightly builds of Safari. You can forget about firefox as the devs once again are abandoning us, so it seems. They said to pull up the menu bar to drag the hand. They did not know what I was talking about when I explained what voice over was.

Yup, I use chrome and safari. I like chrome because youtube doesn't have video adds!
Yeah, VO doesn't work well with chrome. It does what I want it to, but it's not the best.

Thanks, you guys!

Thanks, you guys!
I guess it's because I'm running OS 10.10.2 and VOiceOver. I was just looking for an alternate browser to use in conjunction with Safari, just so I can have two. I guess we'll have to wait till Google updates Chrome or something.

Hmm. I really dont' have that

Hmm. I really dont' have that issue. I can use it with no issues. Try webkit, www.webkit.org as these are nightly builds of safari you will have the best and grates in terms of updates.
