Extension Usage Instructions

                        View the alt text applied to images without the need to inspect each image or use a screen reader.

It makes the alternate text on social media posts visible to sighted users on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more. Human generated alt-text is visible on a blue background, AI-generated alt-text has a maroon background and images without alt text have a red line under the image. 

Options allow for customization of each color and which sites view the alt text.
