Re: [orca-list] Pre-testing of Orca with Chromium/Chrome

Joanie:

I've played with it for 5 minutes and I'm blown away. I just booked my
paratransit ride for tomorrow, logged into my Google Calendar, that's
about it so far.

It's so fast!

I'd swear it's faster than any browser on any OS, and I've got a few OS
hanging around here, all pretty current stuff.

If truth be told, My Linux machine is my oldest computer, 2012 vintage.
But Chromium plus Orca is faster than anything on Mac or Windows, and
those are newer machines.

Just my two cents (American). Thank you for this awesome gift.
