Wave web accessibility tool could be used to inspect webpages to check their compliance with accessibility standards for visually challenged. Is there any way this online tool or its Chrome extension, could be used to inspect html files hosted in local desktop server?
This is an old question, but for the benefit anyone else finding it as I did in a search for the Chrome WAVE extension not working for localhost URLs...
It appears that you need to enable "Allow access to file URLs".
Right click the WAVE icon, click "Manage Extensions" and flip the "Allow access to file URLs" switch.
