Is "Accessibility View" on Chrome Web Store Safe to Install?

Have you ever wanted to see a website's structure from the view of a screen reader but without actually having to start a screen reader? Accessible View converts an arbitrary website into its accessibility relevant form. Think of it like a representation from the view of a screen reader. That means that it reverts any frontend adjustments and only shows things like: • HTML5 structural elements like hav, header, main, footer, aside or articles • Forms and form inputs • Links • Lists • role attributes • Hides aria-hidden elements • Hides display: none elements WIP: • Show aria-labels • Hint on missing image alt attributes • Hint on title attributes since they are not well supported by screen readers
