Surfaces alt-text for images on Twitter

Features & Capabilities

Alt-text makes the web better for everyone, providing a window onto the world otherwise denied to people with vision deficiencies, and enriching the experience for people who can see the image but perhaps lack context.

The point of this extension is to surface alt-text for everyone.

The problem is that alt-text information is currently only surfaced when consuming Twitter through a screen-reader. As a sighted person, it's difficult to tell what alt-text an image has (though an image with alt-text is decorated with an [ALT] overlay, one cannot simply view the alt-text) and not always immediately obvious when an image is missing alt-text, for those who would like help in making the web more inclusive.

This extension is a little experimental, but works. YMMV.

Is TwitterAltText Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

TwitterAltText requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

TwitterAltText is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
