While I will agree with ie's inherent accessibility, the problem I was finding last year was that too many websites would hang or crash or similar, which got to be a right pain.
This especially happened with a lot of games such as clicker idle games like space company. Since I'm sort of supposed to be playing games in order to write about them. This was  not a good   situation for me which was why I moved to chrome myself.
I had previously tried firefox and been unimpressed, both with the system slowdown or crashes (and reports of inaccessible versions didn't encourage me either), , so Chrome seemed the logical thing to try.

For the most  part I am very happy with Chrome, but I will admit Chrome has it's issues.
I do not like the fact that the bookmarks manager in Chrome is so clunky although it's relatively easy to circumvent most of  functions using the application key. I also don't like needing an addon to disable multi tabbed browsing or risking having thirty billion tabs open by mistake.

I have also run into the odd website such as goodreads where Chrome hangs Nvda up on one element, though how much this is a chrome issue and how much a NVda one I don't know (Nvda also used to have issues with popups in Chrome until , 17.4, which now are fine). Chrome's integration with a few windows features such as playing sounds or flash content doesn't work that well either. I also did not like the fact that I needed to plumb my google account to stop Chrome  tracking a lot of my  browsing history, although C cleaner certainly helps with that too and once it's done it's done.

on the plus side as well as crashing and hanging far less than Ie does and being in general a hell of a lot faster, I do like Chrome's ability to resume from the last used website, and the fact that downloads work as they used to on pre Ie9, with an actual honest to goodness "download dialogue" none of those crazy extra side bars or the like.

I've also noticed that where occasionally both Nvda and Supernova would get spotted around pages when loading new pages in Ie, (especially when you have multiple windows open), in Chrome that is far less likely, which makes navigating between pages easier, indeed I like the fact  that in Chrome it's far easier to have a page or two open statically while your browsing another site or doing something else in windows (great for playing clicker idle games or running web missions on flexible survival).

These days, I use Chrome for most of my browsing, but fire up Ie if I come upon something chrome doesn't like, such as flash games or sites like goodreads.

I do wish Supernova would support chrome, since on the rare occasions I switch back from nvda to Sn to see how windows 10 support is going, I am limited to using Ie, but manifestly that is a  Supernova problem not a chrome one, and just more evidence that the old "read any on screen text by default" supernova I used to know in the early xp days is well and truly gone.

Ah well, that's why my lady and I give monthly donations to Nvda these days and probably shan't be buying version 17 of supernova.

I find that I somewhat disagree with 28.  having something to fall back on is always bad for me in particular, because then I get into the habit of falling back on it rather than pressing forward with what I'm supposed to.  That having been said, my greatest problem with FF is the bookmarking system; I love IE's favorites simply working and being a part of windows, placed in a folder from which I can just click on a link and go to it without actually having to launch the browser first.
The long and short of proprietary and primary software on a system is that it'll more than likely always do the job in a manner that is more comfortable to the average user; power users enjoy flexibility.  The average iOS user won't feel the need to install foobar on their machine to play around with media files, just as the average windows user more than likely won't go out of their way to use FF over IE because IE is working right out of the box with extensive support for most every need they could have, along with added accessibility for convenience's sake.  Power users want to feel like they own their system, like they have power over it, rather than asking themselves what their system can do for them right out of the box.

at least get ie 11

hi,
One thing you guys who use IE forget is that IE is an obsolete piece of software. It is no longer being developed, and is in the extended support phase, for all versions. So it isn't the manufacturer provided browser. The manufacturer provided browser for windows is edge. So, be prepared for alot of pain, as IE begins to lag behind.

I'm using Chrome actively just because of speed, but I like Firefox's interface more. Currently on my machine is Firefox 59 Beta with NVDA Next snapshot. There are still problems where browse mode freezes or fails to load on large pages with lots of content, and I've discussed about that on Twitter with one of Mozilla guys, so we'll see what's gonna happen at the end.
And yep I agree regarding bookmarks in IE, because managing bookmarks in Chrome simply sucks. However, I'm not using IE for many years now.

Hmm, haven't heard of WaterFox.

hi
I've heard a lot about the new firefox having problems with screen readers, but when I tried v58.0 with nvda 2017.3 It was much better than what was being said about it.

hi,
For me, the real beauty of windows is increased choice. I wouldn't trade my windows machines, for a place in apple's overpriced walled garden.
