RE: caneandable.social/@marco/1162

Thanks to all who have responded to my inquiry so far! It is interesting that none of us have seen this problem on their systems lately. Yet there still seem to be people who experience it, which is concerning. Because I believe VoiceOver quality on the Mac isn't nearly as bad as its reputation. But there seem to be configurations that really cause problems. So, if you may, keep those observations coming!

Here's an interesting question: Many of you report that you are still seeing VoiceOver going "Safari is busy" regularly on the Mac. Now, I use Safari daily, and I haven't seen this in years. Like... never on my M3 iMac nor on my M2 MacBook Air. I may have seen it on the M1 MacBook Air on very few occasions, but after one big update to MacOS, don't remember which, it was gone. Just gone. And I do use an ad blocker, but no other extensions in Safari. But even without that, I don't remember seeing this at all for a long time. Not on ChatGPT, nor anywhere else. So I wonder what is different. Why are so many of you still seeing this and I absolutely don't.
