[Athen] Screen Reader/Browser Combination

[Robert Spangler]

I'm no longer a student, but at one time I was - a blind student!  At that
time I was using Firefox with NVDA but nowadays I am using Chrome, since it
has improved to a usable level.  I would never suggest Internet Explorer as
most development work now is put towards Firefox/Chrome and improving their
access with screen readers.  Basically, you should be OK with JAWS/NVDA
with Firefox and Chrome.  I use Chrome as my main browser, with Firefox as
my secondary in case something doesn't work well with Chrome.

Chrome is much snappier in performance than Firefox, even since the Quantum
update.  This has been my experience, at least.
