Screenshots
On the left, you can see that the blindify logo in the toolbar is semi-transparent, and the page is fully visible. If you click it, the action that happens is represented on the right - the content gets hidden and the logo becomes opaque. Screen reader announces content the same way in both cases
About this extension
Do you test your websites with screen reader to check how accessible they are? You definitively should!

But to really put yourself into blind persons' shoes you CAN'T see the website that you're operating on. So, with blindify you can temporarly hide all elements on a page, in a way that it's still accessible by screen readers. It allows you to navigate with SR and check if the navigation makes sense or does the page have all the necessary data that you wanted to share.

You can toggle between "blind state" and "visual state" with the button on the topbar. Once toggled into blind state, current tab will still hidden even you navigate through various websites. Each tab can have it's separate state, so if you want to read the docs about ARIA and test the page simultaniously, you're good to go!

Hope you find it useful, let's make the web more accessible!
