Causes hangs with JIRA cloud

Just a sales pitch.

Does not seem to be a 'stand-along' chrome inspector tool of any sort. Not sure at all how to use it, outside of being on a Windows with a Jaws Inspect plan? I was hoping that I could use the Chrome extension to show me how a Screen Reader might read the pages that I am testing, but if it does this, I can't figure out how to initiate it.
