Reviews of xkcd alt text:
alt != title Great extension and works perfectly as expected. However, the feature moving the site header below the comic—although it can be overridden—should not be the default, as it isn't the main function of the extension. Headers are important for accessibility & navigation and this feature rearranges the actual source markup, which affects screen readers. This feature should be opt-in, not opt-out. (And should use CSS only [e.g. Flexbox] to reorder the view.) Also, one minor distinction: This app does not reveal "alt text"; it reveals "title text", which XKCD uses as supplementary text for the comic. The "alt text" of the image is still unexposed.
Uses a background page (which consumes RAM even when not used) and doesn't sync options.
This is a great idea, but it feels like a hack instead of an extension. It moves the main part of xkcd to the top, and the title text looks really out of place. I'll publish my own extension that does this right if I can ever find the time.
