The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Social visual alt text
View the alt text applied to images without the need to inspect each image or use a screen reader.
It makes the alternate text on social media posts visible to sighted users on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more. Human generated alt-text is visible on a blue background, AI-generated alt-text has a maroon background and images without alt text (or have non-specific system-generated alt text, "Image", for example) have a red line under the image.
Options allow for customization of each color and which sites view the alt text.
To note: Social media sites may change their HTML structure without notice. This may cause inconsistent results when viewing alt text on some platforms. If you notice inconsistencies, please file a bug report at: https://github.com/nickdenardis/social-visual-alt-text/issues
