Re: [orca-list] Which web browser does Orca work well with?

["Alex H." <linuxx64 bashsh gmail com>]

Hi,

If you're looking for speed and not the usual laggetry of orca in
Firefox, use Lynx or eLinks with speakup in a console. Firefox
performance in Linux is one of my big reasons why I use textmode for
all my linux stuff, saves a lot of headaches.
And other browsers that work well with Orca? None thus far, firefox is
the only one. Man, if Chrome gets accessible, I'd convert to the GUI
on linux for that! :)
