I use Chrome on Windows myself. I find NVDA slightly better than voiceover: faster, and the keyboard commands don't require quite so many fingers.

As someone who recently made the switch from MacOS to Windows I couldn't recommend it more. With NVDA, of course. It took me a few days to get used to NVDA, but now I don't want anything else. It can even do the object navigation that VoiceOver does, but I prefer to navigate a web page like I navigate any other document, and VoiceOver makes it difficult.

Regarding browsers I'm currently using Chrome, but Firefox is the recommended browser to use with NVDA. On the Mac I use Safari.

From what I understand, for Mac users Safari is a pretty solid option. It has much better VoiceOver support on the Mac than Chrome does.

Not sure if you're addressing me or the OP. I'm just trying to get my mom setup with a computer- a totally blind woman who's never used one ever in her life. I did some research and on the advice of a few people, we decided she should get a MacBook Air to start. She's really excited!!! I can't wait for her to be able to jump into this thing, it's a big deal for her.

My legally blind mother is about to order a MacBook Air for her very first computer! She's excited as am I for her, it's been a journey picking one out. It comes with High Sierra IOS- does anyone have experience with the voiceover on this? I've read good and bad, as with most anything now days.

Thanks!
