## Description

Alt or not is a Chrome extension designed to improve image accessibility on Twitter by highlighting tweets with missing alternative (alt) text. It displays alt text below images when available and alerts users if they're about to post tweets with images lacking descriptions. Users can even disable the tweet button until alt text is added, ensuring better accessibility compliance.

The extension also offers accessibility suggestions for tweet text and allows hiding tweets from accounts with NFT profile pictures. Version updates include added support for the x.com domain and independent options to enhance the user experience. Alt or not empowers Twitter users to create more inclusive content effortlessly.
