Social visual alt text LinkedIn support now available

LinkedIn support

With the update to Version 0.7.0 the social visual alt text browser extension now supports LinkedIn single and multiple images. Initial support for images with detection if the image text is machine-generated (when detectable).

The following situations are now available:

Single images

With alt Without alt
Single screenshot of post with green box under and alt text visible Single screenshot of post with red box under image

Machine-generated alt

Single screenshot of post with alternate color bar under photo

Multiple images

With alt Without alt
Single screenshot of post with multiple images and red color bar under photo Single screenshot of post with multiple images and alternate color bar under photo

If you already have the extension installed, you will be prompted after it updates to accept the new permissions for LinkedIn. This isn't ideal, but while rolling out the extension I wanted to make sure I only asked for the permissions needed and not overly as for detecting and editing sites that were not yet supported.
