   I'd really be surprised if FS or GW Micro spend any effort making Safari accessible. It's market share on windows is just so small. I'd really question their priorities if they were to direct resources away from something else to make Safari accessible. Chrome has a larger browser market share on Windows than Safari, and it has some pretty impressive performance numbers. I'd rather see FS and GW Micro work on making Chrome more accessible than Safari.
