Resources of Chris Heilmann's talk at Halfstack Online 2

Back to basics resources

  • A long Twitter thread about how strange Facebook's HTML is with lots of arguments about generating HTML vs. readability of source code and performance
  • Playwright is a Node.js module that allows you to remotely drive Chromium, Firefox and Webkit browsers. Great for automated testing.

Enable Chrome Accessibility Experiment

NOTE: This is no longer an experiment! You can use the accessibility inspector in Chrome Devtools now, including a fantastic color contrast inspection tool. Read more: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/01/devtools#a11y


Just like any good element inspector helps you debug styles, accessibility inspection in the browser can help you debug HTML and ARIA exposed for assistive technologies such as screen readers. There's a similar tool in Safari (and reportedly one in Edge) but I like the Chrome one best.

As an internal Chrome experiment, this tool differs from the Accessibility Developer Tools extension in that it has privileged Accessibility API access and reports more information as a result. You can still use the audit feature in the Chrome Accessibility Developer Tools, or you could use the aXe Chrome extension. :)

To enable the accessibility inspector in Chrome stable:
