Hi Harry,

You can import favorites into Chrome from other browsers.  I'm getting to like Chrome the more I use it.  There are lots of features. You probably will get best results using NVDA.  There is also Chrome for the iPhone and of course for Android since Android is one of the Google platforms. I would really consider getting rid of Internet Explorer.  Microsoft isn't doing any development and a lot of new apps and websites won't work with it.

For instance, when I type "bl," Chrome auto-completes "Blackboard," which is a learning management system. If I down-arrow once from that, I find "Blind Bargains," etc. I press enter when I hear the item I want.

I tried to click on a link, using Jaws, 10 times, I pressed tab and shift tab to go to the link, and press enter, I did the shift f7 for the link list, found the link, then pressed enter, and nothing.

The problem with Fire Fox and with Chrome is, they will not let me do 2 letter navigation, and I have over 250 favorites, and I don't have any time to down arrow through it, and with Microsoft Edge, I imported my internet explorer favorites over to it, and checked the favorites folder in Microsoft Edge, and they're not there, nothing is there. So that's not going to work. So, I have 2 ideas left:
