chrome extension to remove cdn media alt text from images in reddit
A few weeks ago I made a post on reddit regarding a glaring accessibility issue. Images had useless alt text attached, and so google did not send OCR descriptions for them. This simple chrome extensions can be used in any chromium browser and fixes the issue completely by removing this alt text. As a result, google sends back to you the alt text description and you can continue browsing images as usual. I found it useful and thought others might to, I've decided to share it here on github
