NXS-ible: A Chrome Extension for Empathy-Building Web Experience
NXS-ible is a Chrome extension developed by ewei that allows users to experience web pages from the perspective of differently-abled individuals. This free extension provides a unique opportunity to understand how a web site might be perceived by users with disabilities.
With NXS-ible, users can disable mouse use, convert the page to grayscale, disable images, and even apply a blur effect. These features enable users to simulate the experience of individuals with different impairments and gain a deeper understanding of their challenges.
While NXS-ible is not a diagnostic tool that identifies specific flaws, it serves as a valuable lens through which to view the web. This extension is particularly useful for manual testing and empathy-building, allowing developers and designers to create more inclusive and accessible web experiences.
Experience the web from a different perspective with NXS-ible and gain valuable insights into the needs of differently-abled users.
