ARIA Validator - Chrome Extension for Accessibility Auditing

ARIA Validator is a unique Google Chrome extension designed to scrutinize the implementation of WAI-ARIA on HTML pages viewed on the browser. This tool helps identify common and easily overlooked errors in coding. It checks for valid ARIA usage, duplicate HTML IDs, and verifies the ARIA role of elements with 'aria-' attributes. Notably, this tool also considers the implicit semantics of native HTML elements during validation. The feedback is served in digestible formatting with convenient features like a zoom button and optional checks. However, it should be noted that the ARIA Validator should not be treated as a comprehensive auditing tool as it might not detect all issues.
