The Washington Post has a feature on some articles called "Listen", where the article is read aloud on the device audio. I often use this because my vision is not as good as it used to be, and I can listen while I perform other tasks (e.g., cook). There is an example at this URL: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/24/trump-picks-primaries-perdue-lose-dangerous/

Click "Listen" just above the first text of the article.

This is FF 100.0.2 on Windows 10 21H2 build 19044.1706

I do use the Malwarebytes add-on, but it doesn't work even when I disable it and the FF tracking protection is turned off.

It does work in both Edge and Chrome, with Malwarebytes enabled.

This is very disappointing ...

@Dropa Thanks for the response. I understand, and I do pay for a subscription. But according to their web site: "All readers of The Washington Post website or apps have access to a limited number of articles every month". They don't say what that "limited number" is, but it used to 20 (as of Sept 2021) - it may have changed.

So I think if someone wanted to check it out, they could.
