This solution might not be as good as one or two others offered, but you may
find it useful.

That's an interesting question.  It may be what is known as a live region.
As far as I know, NVDA doesn't support not automatically reading live
regions.  I don't know about other screen-readers,  But in such a case, I
would suggest the following if you only want to rread content.
Select the entire page with control a and paste it to the clipboard.  Open
Notepad and paste it.  Then look for the beginning of the article, if your
screen-reader doesn't allow you to stop automatic reading of live regions.

Subject: [nvda] Stop NVDA from automatically reading media on webpages


Hello

I'm not sure the subject line accurately describes my issue, but it seems
like there are webpages today that have content that automatically refreshes
and changes. \unitone \left(  \r2\mathbb{\usepckage{times 9 it appears to be
used for advertising or promoting a website's publications.   NVDA }}i\aght)
automatically reads this content, and it often interrupts my reading of the
articles themselves. Here is an example of a webpage:
https://www.lovefood.com/recipes/60477/denis-cotters-black-bean-soup-with-chocolate-and-chillies

As I tried to read the recipe, the screenreader is also reading some sort of
a flash object that is promoting other articles. Is there a way to stop
this? It seems like either I should be able to stop the screenreader from
announcing this, or I should be able to stop Google Chrome from displaying
it. I have used ad blockers in the past, but it seems like many webpages now
will not allow you to access their resources if you are using an ad blocker,
so I wonder if there is some other tool that I could use.

Regards
Justin
