Re: Chrome v Microsoft Edge?

I use JAWS as my main screen reader with Chrome as my default browser.

When I'm testing sites, however, I'll test a matrix of JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It helps determine if a failure in WCAG criteria is assistive technology or browser based. Then throw Safari with Voiceover on IOS or OSX - Android and whatever screen reader you prefer with all of the above combinations of browsers... woowee it gets complex.

Have fun, it's like a big parametric equation testing websites!

But to answer your question after that ramble: I prefer Chrome because it is more mature.
