safari vs google chrome, which is better in turms of accessibility on mac right now?

heck even microsoft abandoned their html engine for chromium.
to be honest i stopped using a mac when the zoom feature stopped following my keyboard focus and i swjitched to using a pc.
i just felt that apple was not giving accessibility on the mac the love it needs - at least for blind and visually impaired.

so i am thinking that you are pretty safe if you choose to use chrome and if it works for you.
it sure works for me on my windows pc with nerrator, nvda or jaws.
i also know that well at leaston a pc there are extensions to support keychain - i am not sure how that works on a mac though - that would maybe be the only factor that i would sorely miss.

but seriously? people reporting sluggish behaviorand cursor jumping around all over the place all the time and no one at the billion dollar company can fix that?

To be more constructive, basically I use safari for most things. When some specific things don't work 99% because of voiceover I switch to chrome.
The real problem with chrome especially for those who come from a windows background is that first you have to press f7 to activate caret browsing, and even then for simple website if you use headings voiceover and keyboard won't follow each other except for progressive web apps like teams (you can forget using single letter navigation commands and only vo left right arrow elementt by element with vo cmd h-H and others for headings, links and other sementic navigation), plus voiceover on chrome tends to duplicate infinitely many times html grouping elements. Don't make the mistake of using grouped navigation (vo utility web), only dom order for chrome.

Safari is a piece of crap, but in my opinion it is still slightly less bad than Chrome. I think if you use the two and switch between them when you have issues then you can get most things done. I say this a lot but I slightly prefer Edge to Chrome - it is virtually identical except I just really like the Read Aloud option which is built in.

I think Chrome/Edge have a slightly better interface - tabs on Safari are just weird and the Tabs menu is nice. However, the History menu seems to have gone down the toilet - it doesn't show any actual pages in it any more. Guess it wants me to use the side bar or whatever but it's much less convenient. (Well I've not been bothered to figure it out yet anyway)

One slightly depressing advantage of Safari is that it is easier to report problems - just use the Apple email address. Not that anything will be fixed. Not sure how to contact Google for accessibility bugs. But there is then the grey area between what is a Chrome bug and what is a VoiceOver bug. Whereas with Safari it's always Apple's fault.

I find Safari to be mostly reliable with VoiceOver these days. Chrome triggers a bug that causes text to be skipped when trying to pan a braille display while reading. Safari is fine in this scenario, as was Firefox when I last tested it.

I use Safari and I have no issues.

I always use Safari and find it works great. Unlike others here, I have not encountered the problems that others have noted. I have tried chrome and also found it useful, but I prefer Safari.
