The WebAIM article "Using VoiceOver to Evaluate Web Accessibility" (http://webaim.org/articles/voiceover<;http://webaim.org/articles/voiceover/>;) says "VoiceOver currently only functions with the Safari and (with limited support) Opera web browsers.", but since this article has not been updated for over a year so is this still the case?

Would the most reliable accessibility testing be done with VoiceOver and Safari?

With appreciation,
