JAWS and Chrome aren't as compatible as JAWS and Firefox. Yet, FS has made it official that they will be providing more Chrome accessibility with JAWS, because educational institutions are using Chrome for the most part. That was the prime reason why FS had to adopt Chrome.

I would say use it as I do especially when running the WAVE toolbar. It works just fine. If you find that some pages aren't as accessible as they should be, fall back to Firefox to ensure that it is not JAWS related issue.

I hope that helps.
