<p class="MsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p>
