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.

Great until last update. Now the accessibility-check-function always shows that the website is 100% accessible even if it is not.

I had to disable the extension because I wasn't able to use google auth to log into any of my site servers.
