Lorena, First, you actually do not need to create a Google account in order to use Chrome. The browser should behave very similarly to others that you may have used. To go to a Web site, press ctrl-L, which moves to the address bar or what Chrome calls the omnibox.
Once you're focused on the address bar, just type in the Web site address you want to visit, followed by the enter key. If you want to visit a Web site you've already been to, just type in a partial name, followed by down arrow for suggestions.

Lorena, If you don't want Chrome to be your default browser you can continue to use it with many of the same commands that you're used to with Internet Explorer. Chrome may ask you if you want it to be your default browser but you can just tell it not to do this
if you're prompted. Pretty much all of the reading and navigation commands you're accustomed to with JAWS and IE should work with Chrome.

You don't need an account to juse use Chrome as a
browser. I've never looked into why people might want accounts.
I don't know what kinds of problems you are having
but the following may help. For now, if you use control l to move to the
address bar to type an address, you will be able to go to a web page in that
way.
Book marks can be created with control d, just as
in Internet Explorer.
To move around in bookmarks, open the menu with alt
f, hold alt and type f. Then type b to move to bookmarks in the menu and
press enter. You are now in a bookmarks menu similar to Internet
Explorer.
There is a tutorial a list member wrote for Chrome
and it will probably be sent to you by someone. Until then, what I've
written will allow you to begin to use it. Browsing itself is just about
identical since both programs use browse mode or the Virtual PC Cursor, both
names for the same thing.
Commands like h for heading, b for button, etc.
will all work because they are browse mode commands, and thus screen-reader
commands, not browser commands.

I believe that one of the benefits of creating a Google account with Chrome is that settings can be synced across different versions of the Chrome browser across platforms, similar to how Google does this with Chromebooks. If a user has a Gmail address then
they already have a Google account, anyway. David Goldfield, Assistive Technology Specialist

Additionally, I think that you will find Chrome to be a faster and more responsive browser compared to Internet Explorer. It will also take advantage of newer technologies, which will mean better accessibility with some sites. Internet Explorer 11 will still
receive security updates for some time but it will not receive any new enhancements, leaving it somewhat behind compared to Firefox and Chrome. David Goldfield, Assistive Technology Specialist

All that having a browser as the default means is,
for example, that if you follow links from e-mail messages, the default browser
will open and follow the link. And if you type a link using the run dialog
and press enter, the default browser will follow the link. You can use any
browser by opening it and working in the browser whether it is the default
browser or not.
Any program that isn't the default program can be
used if you work in the program. A program being the default means that if
you take an action, such as press enter on a file, that the default program will
be the one to open and play or show or run or whatever, the file. If
Winamp is your default audio player, if you press enter on an audio file, it
will play in Winamp unless Winamp can't play that file type.
But you can open any audio program that can play
that file type, and play it from within the program.

I suspect that you can no longer use Youtube with
Internet Explorer. I may be wrong but I am skeptical that Internet
Explorer supports HTML5, whyich is increasingly being used for audio as it
replaces Flash. Internet Explorer is archaic. It is useful at times
and important to have available but as a main browser, it is increasingly
incapable of doing many things people want a browser to do.

Not true at all. IE 11 still works perfectly well with Youtube. And
if any browser is incapable of doing things that most blind computer users needa
browser to do, it is Firefox, not IE. Firefox Quantum no longer works with
popular blind-friendly add-ons like Webvisum, Navigational Sounds and Plain Old
Favorites. And some JAWS users have reported sluggish performance with
Firefox Quantum. And its built-in RSS feed reader has never been
accessible, unlike the RSS feed reader built into IE, which is by far, the most
accessible feed reader I have encountered. I have not used Chrome, so I
can’t comment on it, and don’t know whether it has a built-in RSS feed reader.
The fact that Firefox has been steadily losing market share among browsers
attests to its growing unpopulairty with users who are sick and tired of its
frequent and forced updates.

Firefox works well for many blind users. For
some, I don't know how many, it has problems of slowness with the release of
Quantum. Have you tried Youtube in the last day with IE11? Youtube
has made some sort of change and it is much more restrictive now as to what
browsers and versions it will work with. After this change, does it still
work with IE11?
Those who use Internet Explorer report that it is
working with increasingly fewer web sites. There are times when you can do
something with Internet Explorer such as access a certain control on a web site
that you can't with the other browsers widely used by blind people, but it is
increasingly limited and is increasingly less suitable as a main browser, a
circumstance that will grow increasingly worse over time.

I just accessed five different Youtube pages at random using IE 11and

with NVDA, not with Youtube. Or maybe there’s a problem with your ISP and
your Internet download speed is very slow. Some Youtube videos will not
play at all if your Internet speed is too slow. You can perform a quick
check of your Internet download speed by visiting Fast.com.

I don't use Internet Explorer, as I said, I don't
have that version on any of my machines. I don't have any general
problem. But since Youtube made some sort of change very recently and I
can't use older browsers to listen to streams, I didn't know if you still could
with IE11. Evidently, you still can.

I've never looked into why people might want accounts. I don't know what kinds of problems you are having but the following may help. For now, if you use control l to move to the address bar to type an address, you will be able to go to a web page in that way. Book marks can be created with control d, just as in Internet Explorer. To move around in bookmarks, open the menu with alt f, hold alt and type f. Then type b to move to bookmarks in the menu and press enter. You are now in a bookmarks menu similar to Internet Explorer. There is a tutorial a list member wrote for Chrome and it will probably be sent to you by someone. Until then, what I've written will allow you to begin to use it. Browsing itself is just about identical since both programs use browse mode or the Virtual PC Cursor, both names for the same thing. Commands like h for heading, b for button, etc. will all work because they are browse mode commands, and thus screen-reader commands, not browser commands.

Hi all, After reading this message amdand went to Fast.Com and my speed is 110 MPS. Then figured I would check out YouTube And clicked link about Paul McCartney. He has new record Egypt Station out and I hope to score tickets to his show. Link for Paul and no issues with IE Jaws2018. Enjoyed Paul on YouTube. https://fast.com/

I just accessed five different Youtube pages at random using IE 11and JAWS 16 and they all played. Maybe the problem you are experiencing is with NVDA, not with Youtube. Or maybe there’s a problem with your ISP and your Internet download speed is very slow. Some Youtube videos will not play at all if your Internet speed is too slow. You can perform a quick check of your Internet download speed by visiting Fast.com.

But, as I asked in a previous message, have you tried Youtube in the last day? I was able to use older browsers up until about a day ago. No longer. I don't have IE11 on any of my machines but it needs to be tested to see if it still works with Youtube unless those saying it works have used it within about the last day or day and a half.
