A simple way to test if images have alternative text

Does not seem to work. Installed it and tested it on CNN.com with no results. Also, requires access to all data which is not necessary when it only looks for the alt attribute on images, therefore, just need to access <figure> or <img> tags.

Das Add-on wäre nützlich und etwa beim Aufspüren fehlender Alt-Texte hilfreich. Leider gibt es aber offenbar Sites, mit denen sich das Add-on beisst. Hier gerade reproduzierbar mit sbb.ch getestet. Ist Alt Text Display aktiv, beginnt sbb.ch einige Texte usw. zu laden, aber dann bricht der Ladevorgang ab und die Seite erscheint komplett leer. Ist Alt Text Display deaktiviert, funktioniert die SBB-Seite wieder. Sehr schade!
