No previous message | Next message →

Hello all,

I hope you can help. When I check pages using the WAVE plugin it's
finding a minimum of 55 errors and 19 alerts on *every* page.

For example google turns up 56 errors and 20 alerts.

https://www.google.ca/

the same page checked using the WAVE web page

https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://www.google.ca/

reports 1 error and 1 alert.

Turning off styles on the page with the plugin in use shows what looks
like some kind of audio player with a translation option, a selection of
voices, and themes.

Sandy –

You likely have a browser extension installed that is injecting this content into every page.

You have got the Reader Mode browser extension installed. There is a screenshot on this page that shows the exact same menu as in your screenshot.

You just need to turn off the extension.

I toggled off the Reader Mode browser extension and everything is fine.

exact plugin!
