MSEdgeDiscardAnnouncements

This addon is used to suppress some of annoying notifications generated by Microsof edge browser. All notifications can be configured in corresponding addon category of NVDA settings.

Configuring notifications

Choose a notification in the notification list, then choose what NVDA should do with it in the action combo box:

  • Off: the notification is discarded, like in earlier versions of this add-on;
  • Speak: the notification is spoken. Check "Speak a custom message" and type your own text to replace the original message of Microsoft Edge;
  • Beeps: the notification is replaced by a pattern of beeps. "Configure beeps" opens a dialog where you can configure pattern, every beep has frequency, length, volume for left and right channel, and pause following it.
  • Wave file: the notification is replaced by a wave file;

few entries, such as showing suggestions while typing in the address bar, are plain on and off settings. For those, the enabled check box takes the place instead of action combo box.

Notifications configured in earlier version of addon keep their setting: those which were unchecked become off, which were checked become speak.
