Re: [orca-list] Skype, google-chrome, chromevox, and orca.

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

That's far from the latest version of Orca, given that 3.28 implies 
GNOME 3.28, which was 18 months ago at least.


I'd recommend just using web.skype.com and the extension unless you're 
prepared to build from Orca master, which is necessary for stable Chrome 
support. And that's a lot of hoops to jump through just to use Skype.
