True, and knowing that it's not accessible with JAWS 11 is a good piece
of data. However, with a relatively new application which is still
undergoing significant changes, especially with respect to
accessibility, I wouldn't be surprised if you're only going to get
support with more recent version of JAWS or any screen reader for that
matter. We also need to be careful about drawing conclusions on Chrome's
current state of accessibility when using older builds of Chrome and
older releases of JAWS.
Having an accessible Chrome is good, and I'm sure there are some nice
features in Chrome, but we do already have two accessible web browsers
on Windows, and I'm not aware of any web sites or critical activities
that can only be access with Chrome right now.
