Hi, Chrome is as i recall and judging of how it looks on the web page opensource, which according to my experience means very messy web site and documentation. Having said all this, i would like to know where i can obtain the chromevox extention. So i wonder where to get the extention. can i get it directly from chrome using something or other to get extentions? Do i have to turn vo off every time i want to use the browser? /Krister 27 sep 2011 kl. 13:56 skrev Kevin Chao:
