Re: Query regarding scrolling Issue when accessing webpage with browse mode

for

From: Birkir R. Gunnarsson

A screen reader createsw an off-screen model (aka virtual buffer) with
the page content. In browse mode you are solely interacting with that
content so you are not sending events to the webpage (not unless yuou
do something in the virtual buffer that submits an event to the page,
e.g. pressing the tab key to change the programmatic focus or interact
with/click on an element).

There were ideas about a more interactive browse mode (e.g. the ARIA
1.1 proposed implementation of implementing a feed using the feed and
article roles) but I believe that feature was never supported by
screen reader vendors.
