1 year ago @gitnew2018: Talkie deliberately stops speaking when the "speaking tab" is either closed or "updated" with a new URL. The latter usually means that the URL has changed because a link was clicked. If a website implements other logic for when to change the page URL, as you noticed, that will also stop Talkie.
Thank you for providing an example URL. Tested it in Chromium and Firefox; speech stops on scroll in Chromium but not in Firefox. Have not debugged to check exactly why, but it would guess the "tab updated" event and/or the "URL change" property is unused in Firefox.
Talkie's source code includes comments regarding introducing a user preference.
Perhaps separate allow/disallow settings for tab close and URL change is a good idea. (It may require other changes, too, since the tab is currently always expected to be available.) This would be nice to have, and while I might implement it in the future I cannot at this time say if and when.
