Display an overlay of alt tags overtop images
What is Alt-Tag Overlay?
Alt-Tag Overlay is a ground-breaking tool for SEO and web maintenance. This Chrome extension enables you to see all alt tags overlaying the photos on the webpage you're viewing, offering an instant and clear insight into the alt-text associated with each image. Developed with respect for inclusive design practices, it also features an overlay system to navigate outside a website's own layout.

Extension 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.
