ChromeLens
Visual impairment simulation and auditing tools to develop for accessibility.
ChromeLens is a Google Chrome extension that provides a suite of tools to help with web accessibility development.
- Lens (Vision Simulator)
Interact with a website as a completely/partially blind or a colorblind person.
- Accessibility Audit
Run a website through an series of accessibility rules and easily discover elements in your website that do not comply with them.
- Tab-tracker
Key website features should be navigable solely via the keyboard (tab button), while not making the user jump through hoops to get to a feature. With the tab-tracker, you can visually track the flow of navigation through a website.

As this extension is not available anymore, two of the functionalities this extension offered are integrated into Chrome's DevTools: You can emulate vision deficiencies via a feature in the Rendering tab (which you can get via three vertical dots > More tools > Rendering). And the accessibility checks are available via the Lighthouse tab.
Hot Garbage, the previous reverse image search for one, worked and for two, was vastly superior.
Not working its pranked
Useful but Chromelens checks against WAI-ARIA 1.0 - not the latest version.
Doesn't work

Doesn't work. The shortcut CHrl Shif I also doesn't activate it.

Really great if a bit unclear how to use at first. Once installed, you need to hit Ctrl+Shift+I as others have said in this thread. Then for me I had to click more tabs before ChromeLens appeared and I was able to activate the features

Absolute Garbage! it denies me the ability to actually find a picture quickly and easily. If I could give Negative Stars it would have negative 10,000 and that's me being kind. It's only made a perfectly functioning search for images a nightmare. now I have to try to disable this garbage just to find an image. delete it Google. I can't search for images with this trash programming. it was so much easier to search google for an image and now I can't do any image searching at all because of Google lens.

I like this extension because it gave me lots of good results. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be measuring against the WCAG "AA" standard.

I can't find how to actually activate any of the options, I've got the extension but i can't work out how to use the avaliable things it provides. tl;dr How do I activate and deactivate the provided tools?

Nice free extension which lets you simulate the different kinds of color blindness. Perfection.

May have been useful, however it reflects ARIA 1.0 which was superseded by 1.1 some reporting is wrong. Case in point it does not recognize aria-current="page"

This helped me soo much to make my corporate web site with statistics available for more of the concerned people.

Great Work. I love it. Only annoying thing is that you are not able to clear the lines from the tracing the tabs. If you could add that feature that would be much appreciated.

This is an excellent addition to the existing DevTools within Chrome. Unlike third party products and services (e.g. Photoshop), it covers a greater range of visual disabilities. I consider this extension a must for front-end web developers and designers. It's a great way of testing accessibility. Note to all users who are considering downloading this extension: - Although the extension icon appears at the top of the browser, once added, it can only be accessed from "DevTools" (Ctrl + Shift + I).
