Features & Capabilities

Many screen readers like JAWS or NVDA have shortcuts to bring up a list of landmarks, headings or links. This browser extension provides the same functionality without requiring a screen reader.

This is mainly useful for two audiences:

Sighted web developers who want to get a feeling for how blind users might experience their content.
Sighted users who like this kind of navigation.

Usage

Pressing Ctrl+Shift+7 brings up a dialog. You can use the up/down arrow keys to select a list. With the tab key you can switch to the actual list and navigate it with arrow keys.

I love this addon cause enables a dev to navigate page contents as a screen-reader user. Great for a11y and accessibility development!

Thanks for this extension. I was using Headings map before FF Quantum, your extension is different but with aria landmarks, and it's very usefull.

Very useful! Currently suffers from a couple of bugs. It uses the same shortcut (CMD/CTRL-7) as switching to the seventh tab; it will thus do both. To use the extension, you need to call it from a window with less than 7 tabs, or to have your content on this tab already. Also, calling the shortcut more than once will show the UI again on top of the existing view.

Is a11y-outline Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

a11y-outline does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

a11y-outline is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
