How accessible is the Google Chrome browser with NVDA and System Access? I have heard that it's very secure and wish to try it. Is there anything that I should know before downloading it, and is it easy to uninstall if I don't like it? I believe that it works with Xmarks. But if not, then is there a way for me to import my bookmarks from Firefox and/or Internet Explorer and are they easy to delete? Can I easily get to history and is the whitelisting ad-on accessible? Thanks.

Just download it and see what you think.
When installing, it ask questions about your other browsers as to importing data.
Otherwise, your mileage may vary from others.
So, just do it! Lol

I tried Chrome on an xp machine and hated it.
I found it didn't play nice with jaws, and doubt it would do any better with NVDA.

Hi.
I think chrome improoved its accessibility and also from nvda's part there were some improovements as well.
If you downloaded nvda 2014.3 rc1 released today i think you can go ahead and try it or if you don't install rc releases you can wait a few weeks untill it is released officially.
I didn't try it myself yet but of what i read it is much improoved.
