> As I said role="dialog" takes NVDA user to focus mode directly. Developer can remove the role dialog and replace with role="document". With this NVDA does not take the user to focus mode, it will stay in browse mode.

I would generally not recommend using role of document instead of dialog or use it within dialogs. Role of region could be used with an aria-label or aria-labelledby as an alternative if dialog is misbehaving with some assistive technology.
