This free extension does a great job in identifying accessibility issues that can be checked in an automated fashion. Each error is provided with references to the code and tips on how to address the problem as well as links to WCAG information. I was using the free version since 2018. If you pay for their Pro version of the tool (which I have since 2023), additional helpful features are available. You can save a page's test results on the web and share it with collaborators who are involved with fixing the problems. You can also export the list of issues to an external file if desired. A nice feature of the pro version is their Guided Tests addition. These tests are beneficial for those who don't know a lot about accessibility manual testing and they help guide you in identifying other problems related specifically with respect to tables, forms, keyboard navigation, and more. I've tried other extensions which don't compare in the way feedback is presented. And those other tools don't seem to identify as many issues as DevTools identifies.

Looks like it would be useful, but the free version doesn't currently let you select WCAG 2.2AA, which is the standard being expected by the UK GDS for Public Sector websites since October 2024. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/accessibility-requirements-for-public-sector-websites-and-apps#meeting-accessibility-requirements

Just hope it can support WCAG 2.2 sooner! Very handy tool to use.

Great extensions, help us identify and fix accessibility issues

must be broke or something it doesn't do anything

Great extension! But Enabling this breaks the openapi preview mode, throwing the error "Please indicate a valid Swagger or OpenAPI version field". Disabling the extension makes it work. I love this extension but 1 star just to get the attention as this makes it cumbersome to look with the api contracts written in openapi. I'll surely update the review once it's fixed.

Great Tool . Need clarification whether is it able to identify colour contrast issues and did we have screen reader in this tool?

This is a wonderful free disability compliance check on your web page. Thank you!

This ha been an excellent feature. Please confirm if the extension to cover WCAG 2.2 has been made open to all?

Thanks. Could you please confirm if this is latest version of Axe ? I believe this covers up to WCAG 2.1 AA standard issues.

Hello, I have to say this is a very useful tool. It quickly runs in the browser, scan my pages and triggers very helpful results about the issues found it and point the exactly parts of my code with the issue. Is there any plan to update soon the webtool to covers WCAG 2.2 AAA?

Doesn't work if you are not pay lol

Good tool, but only if you pay for it. Elementary basic functions were once free, but now have to be paid for. It's worth it if you use it regularly, but it's no longer useful for occasional users.

This extension uses amplitude for tracking, which gradually fills your cookie with junk 'amp_cookie_text<randomstring>' causing sites to fail to load. Privacy nightmare and shady practices

Axe Devtools Pro is truly fantastic. It's user-friendly and easy to comprehend. When compared to other accessibility products, it stands out as the best.

is there any feature regarding speech reading in axe developer tool plugin? Sorrt to give 3 star , I have used the product from a month , found it user friendly and one of the best app in finding accessibility issues. My rating has been changed now.

Tried to run a test, but it's purely focused on getting you to upgrade. Useless by itself, don't waste your time.

A valuable resource in checking web accessibility. Hopefully even more clever tricks can be included to automate accessibility checking.

Constantly badgers the user to upgrade to the paid version. Not worth the aggravation.

Doesn't seem to do much without purchasing the "pro" version. Not sure why this is so highly rated.

This was a great extension to use, they have since changed it to just push the paid version. If you are not looking to pay for the extension the free version offers nothing.

This tool used to be great, now it's it's a scam. Doesn't actually scan anything. Instead, wants you to subscribe to a 7-day trial and collect your personal information or subscribe to their pro version to unlock anything remotely useful. "Accessibility is for everyone," right?

it didn't give me anything other than attempts to upsell to Pro version right away

Works great! However axe DevTools does not use the latest axe-core ver. It uses 4.4.2 when the latest available ver is 4.6.1. Are there any plans to update to the latest ver?

Tried a test. Immediately popped up a notification to upgrade to a pro-version.

Best accessibility tool to check accessibility issues with zero false positives

Good extension, but seems to recently have switched to a paid subscription after an initial trial, and the free version of the extension only displays 50% of the accessibility issues discovered (which is a bit pointless if you're wanting to perform a worthwhile audit).

You can't change to WCAG 2.1 AA and it tests against AAA which is not what you always need. You should have flexibility to test against any WCAG level. Also you should be able to export the results using this extension. They scare you for no reason. You mostly need AA compliance and not AAA

Excellent!

Worthless, doesn't work at all

When installing the popup warning says "It can read and change all your data on all websites".

Been using this extensión since it was the only one around that offered a somewhat useful accessibility evaluation. But with the last update redirecting me to a subscription page when I want to "save the results to review" I think is time to let go. Obviously the developer's mind is on another business. Is like putting a toll on access ramps, I'd rather donate the money to my local Blind Association. There's plenty of tools now, maybe one coded by someone that had seen a blind person earn a living navigating blindly a phone all day.

好用哦

Please read Privacy Policy of this extension, Deque (extension publisher) can share/sell/give your data to anyone (also this extension fingerprints you, so if you want to have some privacy - remove AXE immediately).

Pages are loading very slow when the extension is enabled, even if Chrome DEV Tools is closed.

This is the tool I recommend to people who ask me for an automated testing tool. I've been using it consistently for a long while now and trust it (almost) implicitly.

Almost useless. the lighthouse does the work better.

Superb tool.

Not visible in last chrome 83.0.4103.116

An awesome accessibility testing tool. Works beautifully on local files as well. Great job!

Best way to check for accessibility but lacks good design and I'm getting this error always: `DevTools failed to parse SourceMap: chrome-extension://lhdoppojpmngadmnindnejefpokejbdd/browser-polyfill.js.map`

Funciona bastante bien, pese a que no acaba de apurar en muchos sites, estéticamente está bastante mejor que las de la competencia y tiene margen de mejora. Funciona bien.

Good purpose is in this extension but my anti virus on Linux found Html.Exploit.CVE_2016_0228-6327291-2 in vendor.bundle.js file in it :O

The extension is working with axe-core 3.2.2, but I use the selenium driver which uses 3.3.0 - those mismatches make it so in testing and production we get different errors.

Hi, everyone. I have question about report. Is there a function to upload a report to my computer? Thanks.

Fantastic tool!

works great, my team uses the javascript api to automate accessibility testing and this extension while manually fixing issues.

The best tool that I have found
