That is correct. It is in navigation.
You don’t want to permanently disable java script. You would only disable it
in situations where you are having problems. It’s a band-aid rather than a
fix. It also doesn’t always work. But it is something to try in certain
situations. Some times temp
I think it's in the vo utility. I have to go in there and look but there's
something maybe in navigation where you can have the vo and mouse cursors

Barry,
Not sure I was able to find where you mention to not have VO move the mouse
constantly. Where would I find that?

You can stop the loading announcement on the Amazon page just by restarting
voiceover.
Also, having vo set to constantly move the mouse around will usually slow
things down to some degree. There is no benefit in having it set that way for
normal usage.

To enable the developer menu you need to open up safari preferences. Once here
go to the advanced settings then you should find a checkbox to enable the
developer menu.

Hello,
I set up an activity to do this. However it really slows down safari when I go
to the Amazon site. It also keeps saying loading over and over again for 30
seconds or more.

Tim,
Thanks! That did it. I think there are a couple other web sites with this quirk
that I’ll try now, that it’s disconnected.

Hi Jonathan,
As far as I can tell, yes. Like you, I haven't tested it a lot, but by all
accounts it seems to have that ability.

Tim,
Can one set up a VoiceOver activity for the sites like Amazon, Slack, facebook
where Voiceover keeping Mouse, Focus and VO cursor synchronized is a problem? I
know one web site can be listed in an activity, but I haven’t really
experimented with this much.

Same thing here!
