## Description

EmbedFallbackWatch audits legacy and plugin-style embedded content on the active page. It focuses on <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;embed&gt;</code> elements, which are less common than images, iframes, and video tags but can still appear in dashboards, document viewers, PDF previews, map widgets, and older enterprise pages.
The extension checks whether embedded resources have a clear source, MIME type, dimensions, accessible label, and fallback content. This is useful because object/embed markup can silently degrade when the browser blocks a plugin, when a resource fails to load, or when a screen reader needs a text alternative.
