a14y for Chrome

One click from the toolbar; the full report opens in a new tab with pass/fail breakdowns and direct jumps to each check's fix guidance.

Stop-gap install. Chrome Web Store review is in progress; the manual steps below are how you load it today.

Install

  1. Find the .zip you just downloaded; if you skipped the button above, grab one from the releases page.
  2. Unzip it; keep the resulting folder somewhere stable. Chrome reads from this folder on every load — if you delete or move it, the extension breaks.
  3. Open chrome://extensions/ in a new tab.
  4. Toggle Developer mode on; the switch sits in the top-right of the page.
  5. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
  6. Pin a14y from the puzzle-piece icon so the popup is one click away on any page.

Updating

To install a newer version, repeat the steps above with the latest .zip; Chrome replaces the existing install in place. Once the Chrome Web Store approves the extension this page switches to a one-click install button and updates run automatically.

Privacy

The extension scores pages locally and sends only anonymous usage events (which check ran, pass/fail counts); never the URL or page content you audited. See privacy for the full breakdown and an on/off toggle.
