Features & Capabilities

WAVE Evaluation Tool, developed by WebAIM.org, provides visual feedback on web accessibility by injecting icons and indicators into your page. It supports testing of intranet, local, and password-protected content entirely within Chrome, focusing on human evaluation rather than automated pass/fail. It helps educate about accessibility issues and aligns with WCAG, ADA, and Section 508. To run a WAVE report, click the WAVE icon next to the browser address bar or use the 'WAVE this page' option from the context menu. The extension emphasizes in-browser testing and ongoing improvements across versions, including ARIA headings, contrast checks, and performance enhancements, while keeping your data secure.
