When One Web Browser Is Not Enough: A Guide for Windows Screen Reader Users

In just the last few years, more web browsers have become accessible, and
screen reader users can greatly benefit by becoming familiar with multiple
browsers. Websites are complex animals. When things go wrong with one
browser, your first line of defense is often to switch browsers. Each
browser has strengths and weaknesses, so you can pick and choose features
among them to get the best browsing experience. And once you are
comfortable with one browser, it’s not hard to pick up the basics of the
others.



When One Web Browser Is Not Enough: A Guide for Windows Screen Reader Users
by David Kingsbury, Assistive Technology Instructor at the Carroll Center
for the Blind, is meant to help JAWS, NVDA, and Windows Narrator users to
effectively use the four leading web browsers – Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge – in ways that build on the
strengths of each of them. Topics covered include: recent trends in web
browser and screen reader usage; web accessibility criteria; screen reader
keystrokes and strategies for efficiently accessing and navigating
websites; browser menu structure; useful web browser features and commands;
and JAWS, NVDA and Narrator customizations. Two appendices – a list of
keystrokes and a glossary of Internet terms – are included for convenient
reference.
