- Rated 1 out of 5by kf62w6, 25 days agoThis stupid thing wants to change words for no apparent reason.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Sarah S, a month agoDoes not recognize many common words - especially names, scientific terms, and loan words from other languages. This would be fine if it happened occassionally, but it happens *constantly* and with plenty of words that aren't names or loan words.
Additionaly, almost every time it's given me a grammar recommendation, it's been wrong. There is no way to tell it that a suggestion is incorrect - the only option is to disable the rule entirely.
I thought I had gotten this spellchecker specifically because it wasn't AI (that's why I stopped using Grammarly). Another review mentioned that the AI label only appears in the extension name after you install it, so I'd guess that's what happened and it took me a while to notice.
Overall, poor quality and deceptive. - Rated 1 out of 5by Isaac, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Wizard, 3 months agoI'm very concerned about privacy with this extension. As an example of what they collect (from their privacy policy).
Usage information (such as the date and time of visits, pages viewed, links to/from any page, and time spent in a session)
Device information (such as your internet protocol (IP) address, Internet service provider, operating system, computer model, language settings and CPU details, referrer URL, time zone information, data volume transferred, access status/ HTTP status code, and web browser type).
Inference Information about your usage of LanguageTool (such as whether you are a frequent document uploader or user of a particular feature). Location information (approximated, based on your IP address).
Almost none of this has anything to do with helping to check spelling and grammar and it goes way beyond what anyone should be willing to share to any company, let alone an extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by Liamb135, 3 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18247828, 4 months agoMy God, this tool used to be the prime tool for spell-checking. In recent weeks, they somehow F-ed up the alorithm, and now the spell-checking is close to a retarded - constantly suggesting wrong intepretation, highlighting simple words that does not make any sense. Please update it back.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19189940, 4 months agoThey say it works on almost any web site, just not the ones I use. I'm not sure where all of the 5-star reviews come from, but I found it uninspiring and not useful.
- Rated 1 out of 5by StarInAPond, 5 months agoNot a fan of "AI" part, I just wanted a single word spelling checker, absolutely don't need any of the other features :/
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mat, 5 months agoTerribly clunky and giving some of the worst grammar suggestions turning my sentences into broken Engrish
I just want a good spellchecker that quickly helps fix words, not this mess - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19104415, 5 months agoMade my performance horrible. Turning it off fixed the issue immediately.
- Rated 1 out of 5by IC, 6 months agoCannot detect Romanian language, shame! Also to send all the information to your data base. No thank you and adios!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19057824, 6 months agoYet more AI garbage. Go away and leave me alone forever, please and thank you.
