Commit message
Add settings to continue/stop when page closes/URL changes
- When selecting page text for speaking, using the Talkie browser button or corresponding keyboard shortcut, the "speaking tab" (id number) is stored.
- Does not apply for text which does not have a tab context, such as (context menu-triggered) selected text or text from the clipboard.
- Before this commit, Talkie always stopped reading (or attempted to) when the "speaking tab" (or window) was closed or the URL changed.
- The behavior is inconsistent across websites and browsers.
- Websites can script-trigger URL changes, with or without user interaction, stopping speech. This includes navigating menus or scrolling on infini-scroll pages.
- Firefox does not trigger events (or include all event data) for (all) URL changes, meaning that speech does not stop. This is due to privacy concerns, even with the
activeTabpermission.- Introducing two settings, for both tab close and URL change events separately, to either continue or stop.
- The default for all browsers is to stop on tab close.
- The default for Firefox is to continue reading on URL change, consistent with current experienced behavior. All other browsers (Chromium-based) stop by default.
Fixes #45.
