Wow.

Guess that means they want you on their *ahem* browser and won’t take downloading another for an answer.

I tried out edge on win10 with jaws. Forget it! Not very accessible and even win10 narrator wouldn’t do everything in there either. I haven’t tried out NVDA on that as yet (been doing a little troubleshooting of my mates machine here and the win10 desktop is a kludge of hit and miss accessibility using either narrator or jaws.

Exactly why I defected to linux.  I note when I install a windoze os still, launching edge to search "google chrome" results it in it begging you not to leave.  It's funny to me.

I keep a dated old chrome and firefox around on a share to bootstrap off of so as not to even launch edge for a while now, at least at home.

Now they just link you to malware.  Caveat emtor indeed.
