Not easy to use or understand

really useful and easy to use!

This was ok. These are the steps to use it - Click their icon > Select the colour picker and use left click to choose a background colour and right click to choose a foreground colour > Click their icon again and you can see some suggestion colours. There’s a bunch of other Chrome extensions available, I’ve only tested two. If your main goal is to test some text on a webpage, see if it meets Level AA or Level AAA and find suggestions for alternative font colour, background colour, or font size to meet those levels then it requires much too much clicking all over the screen and could be made much easier to use. The ability to simulate various challenged visions is a nice touch.
