# Accessibility Internals

Use this page to inspect the internal representation of accessibility in Chrome. You can see and modify the various accessibility modes Chrome has. You can also view the accessibility tree for a specific page, or for the Chrome app natively.

## Accessibility modes:

Check/uncheck accessibility modes to see how they change a page's accessibility.

Native accessibility API support
Allows Chrome to be controlled via native accessibility APIs specific to this platform.
Web accessibility
Accessibility support is enabled for web content.
Text metrics
Enables support for querying line breaks and the bounding box of arbitrary character ranges.
Screen reader support
Exposes accessibility APIs typically needed only by screen readers.
HTML
Exposes HTML tag names and attributes via accessibility APIs.
Label images

## Command line options:

    --force-renderer-accessibility

To disable accessibility, run Chrome with this flag:

    --disable-renderer-accessibility
