Summary

Quickly and easily see all alt tags overlaying the photos currently on the webpage you're viewing. As absolute positioning can screw things up, I included an overlay to see outside of the website's own layout.

User reviews
Pretty good. It does what it needs to. Nothing more, nothing less. (Also I almost gave a 1 star review then I decided to use my brain and refresh the page I was on (I had been on it when I installed the extension) and sure enough it worked. So, my apologies for being stupid.)

I love the list of images and corresponding ALT-text that is displayed after the second tap on the extension icon. I wish this was the only feature of this extension.

It's very inconsistent. It shows overlays with the alt text of some images on a page, but not all of them. PS: I wish I could give it a zero star review instead of 1.
