## Description

The ARC Toolkit Chrome extension is a powerful accessibility testing tool designed for developers and QA testers. It integrates directly with Chrome Developer Tools, enabling easy identification and exploration of accessibility issues based on standards such as WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, EN 301 549, and Section 508. The toolkit simplifies repetitive tasks and provides interactive feedback both in the panel and directly on web pages, including those loaded in iframes or local file URLs.

Used and updated frequently by the experts at TPGi, ARC Toolkit leverages the same rule set as the ARC platform, making it suitable for thorough accessibility evaluations during both automated and manual tests. Its flexibility and in-depth integration help ensure your web content aligns with key accessibility requirements, improving inclusivity and compliance.
