It provides more helpful guidance and explanations in my opinion than the other alternative tools out there: https://siteimprove.com/en-us/core-platform/integrations/browser-extensions/   The other one I use regularly is Accessibility Insights, built by Microsoft for Chrome & Edge, but using the same core engine (axe) that’s used by Google’s Lighthouse. I just find the interface & results easier to use than Lighthouse or the main axe plugin: https://accessibilityinsights.io/en/
