Works very well as most of your accessibility needs can be met 'under one roof' and it's available as a Chrome plug-in. The Workflow scanner (to check your page(s) against WCAG 2.1 guidelines), Assisted test (to automatically check for keyboard tabbing sequence) and Screen reader do everything you need instead of using standalone tools. The reporting dashboard is very useful to give you a summary of the results and you can drill down to get to solutions to fix the errors reported. The main downside is that this is a paid for service and licences are required beyond the 'free' scans that you can run (5 unique pages a month). Similar/same results can be achieved via standalone tools such as WAVE and NVDA.
Works rather well and sometimes finds other things than the Axe plugin. However, also finds many false positives (contrast issues for black on white text). I don't use the dashboard.
Doesn't work. Empty panel in dev tools in Chrome (latest version) on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
