Omar Fadl		 مفيد جدا يكتشف الاخطاء التكويدية الخاصة بالصفحة بدلا من رفع الصفحة على الانترنت واعتماد الصفحة ان ليس بها اخطاء
2017-02-14 Marc Reitz Doesn't work. Complains about character encoding not declared. But it is declared and W3-Validator shows no problems. So: Useless Extension

Igor Surini		 the instruction are outdated/faulty, after "icon-click" it opens only menu, no validation at all...
2017-02-04 Not Applicable Lacks an option to ignore certain error/warning types which is important since the official validator flags errors for non-standard attributes which are still VALID under HTML 5. Makes the results very hard to use for anyone using AngularJS or similar on their site.
