Hrvoje 2025-07-29: Really great! Very detailed test steps, good assisting tools, detailed explanations and actual focus on real-world solutions, concepts and use-cases, rather than just checking against guidelines. I'm actually sad to see this there is no more hype about it, it's really good free tool. Much happy to see it's also available on Github for contribution.
André Bernardo 2024-12-17: This is a very powerful tool. It clarified and guided us to what we should look for. I recommend it
Mykola Samila 2024-11-08: Incredibly useful tool, can't stop checking and optimizing my projects. Thank You!
Brodie Farrell-Oates 2023-09-30: This is such a handy tool ,much more detailed than using Lighthouse to run assessments.

Lucas Menezes 2023-09-24: A good extension for tests of accessibility. With W3C docs references and highlight (in red) HTML elements with errors to fix. Nice job!!!

Anonymous 2023-06-17: This is the best free extension to use if you need to conduct an accessibility test or audit. LOVE the export assessment function!

Ariel Lima Cavalcante 2022-05-27: Absolutely fantastic tool :) As a feedback, the Assessment feature is a bit hard to understand what to do to start it, at first. Maybe it could have a "Start" button or something. Also, throughout the application we see lots of toggle switches being used as other components, and it gets very confusing. I'd be very glad to help out a bit with design, if there's a repository or something I could propose some changes that'd be nice.

Bob C. 2022-03-30: I love this plugin. It's been vital to making better web apps. But lately it just stops working intermittently. There are continuous messages in background.html

Anonymous 2022-03-15: Much of what it takes to make an application truly accessible is providing instructions to machines on how to interpret the intent of the code, making it inherently impossible to fully test with automation. This extension will start with an automated report, and then proceeds to give comprehensive instructions on how to supplement it with manual testing. This is a game changer.
Tristan Gibbs 2021-08-17: I sat for hours trying out all the different accessibility extensions. This one is definitely one of the best. Very helpful.

Anonymous 2021-02-12: This is the first time I feel obligated to write a review. This is amazing, thank you! It will definitely help my team improve accessibility in our app. The tab stop feature does really help finding those tricky hidden (by css) fields or interactive elements that shouldn't be on the page.
Kyle Charlton 2020-02-10: I've tried a variety of accessibility tools and this one has beat them all. It offers the most insights as well as the best interface.

Sean McMains 2019-10-04: While I am neither a QA tester or web accessibility specialist by trade, I got to shoulder that mantle for a recent project. The combination of automated tests, guided manual tests, and ample supportive material were a godsend. I've been able to work very effectively with our web devs to improve the accessibility of our work dramatically.
Warren Diprose 2019-05-20: Not trusting any one particular tool I choose to use lots of accessibility checkers and compare their reports. I am finding Accessibility Insights for Web's features, polished interface and accuracy refreshing. With Section 508 Refresh deadline looming and a mountain of content to review/remediate, accuracy is paramount. I can't afford to waste time on false reports or bad reporting tools.

Sasha Sirotkin 2019-03-13: The fast pass (which quickly finds errors in your page) is polished (especially since many accessible tools are garbage-y looking) and effective (though not game-changing). The visualization tools are really impressive though! The header highlighting and "tab stops" (it's closer to "tab trials") features make this thing worthwhile
