About
It helps you test websites by simulating different user needs, based on the accessibility personas created by the UK Government Digital Service (GDS) and Germany's DigitalService. This tool provides a rough simulation of how your website might appear to users with various impairments like low vision or dyslexia. Select a persona from the menu, and the extension will adjust your current browser tab accordingly. Useful for checking if your websites work well for everyone, finding accessibility issues early, and learning about different user needs. Important note: It's not a replacement for testing with people who have disabilities. This extension is an open-source project, and we welcome your help to improve it. Whether you're interested in contributing, reporting an issue, or simply exploring the code, you can find the repository here: https://github.com/digitalservicebund/accessibility-personas-extension
