Most of the browser add-ons are pretty accessible.
* Axe, just press ctrl-sift-i to go to developer tools, find the tab,
activate it, run the scan, then navigate by headings to explore results.
* ARC (last time I tested), same thing as I recall
* Wave - the icons have alt text so you don't even have to go to developer
tools necessarily
* Evinced - I don't remember the details, but it's similar, I could use it
without much trouble

These re the ones I can recall of the top of my head.
As for CICD type tools, those are trickier and depend on other factors such
as automation framework, access to command line, I need braille for all
such work, etc.
