My reference point is Window-Eyes since I converted from it to NVDA. When in File Explorer and arrowing up and down a file list, WE additionally announces things like file size, date of modification,

this, I am in complete agreement with, because on the whole, the concept you're proposing flies in the face of what NVDA is truly all about.

Hi Shaun,
I'm not sure I agree with much of this! I like audio ducking a lot becuase there are often websites that start things playing too loudly and there is no way to navigate to the volume control

Ron, what follows is not personally aimed at you, but at this concept, which several have expressed.
Whether or not you, any you, use a given feature or function is irrelevant. You can be assured

The education about how NVDA works, about the existence of add-ons and so on, it is not one of the major responsabilities of the various local communities?
At least, for the portuguese community, it

I think that perhaps the most important reason to add certain add-ons to the program itself is that a lot of NVDA users don't know, and won't know, that add-ons exist or where to get them.
