Pros
- Comprehensive and all-in-one accessibility testing tool with many useful functions.
- User-friendly and easy to use, providing clear and actionable insights for improving accessibility.
- Includes a helpful screen reader simulator that aids those unfamiliar with screen readers.
- Effective at quickly identifying accessibility issues and providing detailed explanations and clear steps for optimization.
- Modern and intuitive design making accessibility testing straightforward and educational.
Cons
- Recent update introduced a permanently visible Silktide button that cannot be disabled, which users find intrusive and annoying.
- The extension sometimes breaks websites (e.g., causing YouTube videos to play multiple times and messing with scroll bars).
- Authentication issues have been reported where the extension interferes with Google authentication on some sites.
- The screen reader feature does not always announce element status (like expanded/collapsed states), limiting its effectiveness.

Nice and comprehensive plugin! An option to zoom in on mobile (just the screen) would be a nice addition, as it would make it easier to test WCAG requirements related to zoom and readability.

Jorgen Verweij, 2025-02-28Great until last update. Now the accessibility-check-function always shows that the website is 100% accessible even if it is not.
