Alt Text Display Chrome Extension

Alt Text Display is a handy Chrome extension designed to enhance accessibility and image information retrieval. By adding a new item to the right-click context menu on any image, it allows users to quickly view the alternative text (alt text) and the URL of that image.

This tool is especially useful for web developers, accessibility testers, content creators, and anyone curious about the descriptive text associated with images on websites. With minimal setup and intuitive usage, Alt Text Display improves browsing efficiency and accessibility awareness.

Works well, but why does it have to be so extremely ugly? 😔

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Alt Text Display requires very minimum permissions.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.
