HTML Validator

Add HTML Validator in Developer Tools

HTML Validator Extension for Chrome

'HTML Validator' is a Chrome extension based on HTML Tidy algorithm originally developed by W3C. It enables validation of your HTML codes right inside the developer tools of your Chrome browser. It identifies HTML errors and categorizes them for easy resolution. With the 'Clean up' feature, it can even offer a version of your HTML page free from errors. All these tasks are performed locally, ensuring your HTML codes are not sent to any third-party server.

Extension not maintained ! Unable to refresh the analysis . the "HTML Validator" tabs keeps always the old release , even when i refresh the page CTLR+R. This important issue was logged 3 years ago ! (see #61 in gitlab issues)

It does not refresh itself after a page reload :(

Pretty decent, but it doesn't seem to be fully HTML5 compliant. It didn't like me using "checked" instead of checked="checked", both of which are valid for HTML5.
