Dan helped me remember what I do sometimes, Harry. about the pages refreshing. What I've done uncountable times over the years, for various reasons and to save time, is to simply copy all the text on a page, with a Ctrl+a command, and paste it into a Notepad file. It doesn't get much easier than that. And if you know the first few words of the article by jumping to it with you’re A.T. commands, then you can simply do a Find command in Notepad, to find those few words. You'll jump to the beginning of the article, bypassing all the link text, and can easily read it without interruption. 

There is some tech in pages where headlines scroll slowly upward on a section of a page. Tabbing through, you can land on one headline, tab past it, go back a second later by shift-tabbing, and you'll land on a different headline in that same spot. Thankfully, when you do a Copy All, it simply copies and pastes all the headlines in that scrolling section along with all the other text from the page. Remember, Notepad is your friend. ;-)


Hope That Helps,
Everett

Subject: [VICUG-L] Which Browser to Use?
You didn't say what type of site you were trying to use, but that could also make a difference.  Some sites which have a lot of social media options, news articles, blogs, and multimedia will refresh from time to time.  This is a trend we won't be able to stop so we will need to get used to it.  Right now there is a lot of discussion about replacing a virtual viewer with some other option which loads part of the page at a time so screenreaders can cope with refreshing browsers.  I have read several technical articles about this, and it's not a matter of if but when this will hahappen.
