I was trying out the beta and canary versions of the new Edge and installed Accessibility Insights and was pretty impressed.

I immediately thought: how come none of the other browser vendors have something like this after all of this time?



Firefox has an accessibility inspector: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Accessibility...

Google develops Lighthouse, which, although an extension, I believe includes some a11y checks: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/

Similarly, Mozilla also promoted Webhint: https://webhint.io/ (which is cross-browser)

I'd also recommend Khan Academy's tota11y, which just works as a bookmarklet: https://khan.github.io/tota11y/
