pour DevTools

Packaged builds of pour DevTools, the accessibility testing, documentation and vision simulation extension from pour.dev.

These releases provide packaged builds for manual installation and version pinning. Browser store releases may follow later.

Install

Downloads

Builds are on the releases page. Every release attaches two zips:

File For
pour-devtools-chromium-<version>.zip Chrome and Edge, Manifest V3
pour-devtools-firefox-<version>.zip Firefox 140 and later, Manifest V3

Latest: download the latest release.

The store version is the one to use. Install a zip by hand only if you need a specific version or your organisation sideloads extensions.

Loading a zip by hand

Chrome or Edge: unzip it, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, then "Load unpacked" and pick the unzipped folder.

Firefox: open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, then "Load Temporary Add-on" and pick the zip. Temporary add-ons are removed when Firefox restarts.

What it does

Runs a WCAG 2.2 audit of the current page from the toolbar popup or a DevTools panel, showing every failing element with its WCAG criterion, a CSS path, and the evidence behind the verdict. Criteria automation cannot judge are listed for manual review instead of being silently skipped. It also simulates vision and sensory conditions so you can experience a page the way others do.

Audits run entirely in your browser. The extension makes no network requests of its own: nothing is uploaded, and there is no analytics or tracking. Preferences live in browser storage, and per-tab results are cleared when the tab or the browser session ends.

Something not working?

If an audit cannot reach a page, the panel explains why and offers a "Report a bug" button that assembles a diagnostic report. Copy it and email it to info@pour.dev, or open an issue here and paste it in.

The commonest cause is a tab that was already open when the extension was installed or updated. Reload the page and run the audit again.

Source

The audit engine is open source and MIT licensed: pourdev/pour-engine, published to npm as pour-engine. The extension around it is not open source; these builds are published so you can install and inspect exactly what the stores ship.
