Aceit Toolbar
Aceit Toolbar is built to make manual accessibility testing easier. It is designed to complement the manual reviews you run in Aceit, and to make day-to-day work simpler for anyone working with accessibility in web based interfaces.
One click in the toolbar reveals how a page is structured: landmarks, headings, lists, tables, form controls, text, images, and links. You can trace the tab order of the page and inspect the accessible name of every element. You can also apply WCAG 1.4.12 text spacing or switch off the page styles the extension can reach to examine the page with less styling.
Features
The toolbar bundles the inspections you typically need during a manual review:
- Landmarks, headings, lists, and tables
- Form controls, text, images, and links and buttons
- Tab order - the keyboard sequence visualised with numbered circles
- Accessible names - with every source that contributes to the name
- Apply WCAG 1.4.12 text spacing with a single click
- Turn off reachable page styles to examine reading order and structural content
- Shortcut to the Useit contrast checker
Every mode marks elements directly on the page with clear colours and labels, and warns about common issues such as skipped heading levels, missing alt text, or tables without header cells.

Built with security at the core
Aceit Toolbar is developed with security and privacy in mind. The extension does not collect, store, or share any user data, and all of its code runs locally in your browser. The only thing saved is your light or dark theme choice.
- Minimal permissions - only activeTab and scripting. The extension cannot read other tabs or the websites you visit
- No external code - everything ships inside the extension and can be reviewed as it is
- The code in the package is the code that runs - nothing is compressed or rewritten, so it can be read straight through
- The markings are added to the page and disappear when you switch the mode off. Text spacing and Disable CSS change the page on purpose - that is the test - and restore it when you switch off
That way your security team can review the code and decide on rollout inside your organisation on their own terms.
Privacy policy
Aceit Toolbar does not collect or transmit any user data. When you open the extension it reads the address of the tab you are on, to work out whether the page can be inspected. The content of the page is read only once you choose a mode, and then only in memory.
- No data collection. No personal information, browsing history, location, keystrokes, or other user activity is collected.
- No automatic network requests. Inspection is local. Documentation and the contrast checker open external websites only when you choose them, and send nothing from the page you are inspecting.
- No user data is stored. The extension uses no cookies and no databases in the browser. The one thing saved is your light or dark theme choice. That is a setting for the interface, not data about you, and it never leaves your machine.
- No telemetry. No analytics or tracking services are included.
- Minimal permissions. The extension asks for two. activeTab gives temporary access to the tab you are on, and only when you click the icon. scripting is what places the markings once you have chosen a mode. The extension has no permission to read other tabs or the websites you visit.
All inspection activity stays local to the tab you chose to inspect. The extension does not share data with third parties.
