was good once, but for whatever reason isn't working for me anymore in FF, no settings are saved and doesn't appear anymore in any text or spelling corrections etc.
Settings aren't saved anymore no matter what I do.
Gonna fully remove and reinstall and if it still doesn't work gonna look for something else, thankfully there seem to be many competitors in this field.
Not sure why it seems to be working for everybody else still but not for me, based on the reviews by others. Worked fine in the past but then just stopped.

its ok for basic spelling mistakes but has real difficulty with some words people would spell phonetically I'm dyslexic so I spelled definite like this defenate. The add on offered me two options to correct the mistake defecate and def enate. I'll forgive defecate as the app could have thought it was a mistype but to not offer definite when I typed it in google and the correct spelling was the first thing google offered. Also loads of names of places are flagged as a mistake Shinjuku for example. I wouldn't recommend this add on in its current state.

Personally I hated this extension and uninstalled it. The grammar checking function is extremely irritating (it doesn't seem to get the idea of casual English where you don't necessarily want to have loads of commas everywhere) and there doesn't seem to be a way of permanently disabling it. It also constantly offers me unwanted style guides for "improving" the style of my English (by upgrading to a paid version). This is probably fine if you are writing English as a second language, but it isn't suitable for native speakers wanting to catch awkward spellings or typos.

Barly woerks

Money-grubbing BS. Useless for anything longer than 1,000 words, unless you upgrade to the paid version.

Still better than Firefox's default dictionary, but not by much.

Dark mode for every website. Take care of your eyes, use dark theme for night and daily browsing.

Pretty useless tbh gives dumb corrections to things that are mistakes in a different sentence structure. Used for dutch

neat software.

kudos to whoever decided free users need to see a constant yellow warning which only links to "premium upgrade now" spam on every single text input

After integration of AI, it simply works worse. I do not recommend it any more.

Two stars for not including an option to select, an “Any dialect” in the which dialect to use dropdown, or select multiple as a bubble, as either a basic or advanced option.

I consider this a critical feature of any language tool, especially a spell check.

I'd also like to be able to select “Show both as a suggestion” For these features of premium let alone recommend it as a user I want more freedom of expression in how I type, sometimes to type in standard “wrong” variations and even recommend them (The horror!!!):

Wrong Punctuation

Incorrect Word Combinations

Advanced Missing Commas

Foreign Terms

It's also lacking several important features such as custom dictionaries from what I can tell.

There's no excuse for not loading from standard formats for this.

Review was edited using this software.

The software also disguises telling you about "Advanced" errors, as a form of very blatant advertisement, and front-loads its AI paraphrasing, and rewriting system as much as it reasonably can without impacting the user experience.

As a user I don't want this, I don't want to know if I made an advanced spelling mistake, because I know that The software does not support that because I read the page, I expect no scanning, not ad's for scanning disguised as good faith showcasing of your product, or the user's failures.

It needs to be a default off option like "Enable scanning of user text for premium features, to warn user about their mistakes" would be ideal.

There's not even any options clutter yet, good work, but its not configurable enough.

Id say my review rating is: Stalker HoC's reception.

Not so great if you are multilingual. I understand projects like this need money but the pathological need to show premium upgrade ads in the UI over usability of the product shows the priority is not helping you the user. Also don't fake having a language available in the setting and then not be able to spell check it.

A spellchecker that only works on some sites, and not others, has limited usefulness. Would be better if it could run here, but its options don't even show the "Run on sites with restrictions" option as it ought to.

Edit: It used to work on wireclub.com's chats, and now it doesn't. More useless than ever before.

Wenn sie immer funktonieren würde könnte ich mir überlegen dafür zu bezahlen. Nachdem das leider nicht so ist, sehe ich nicht ein auch nur 1 Cent dafür auszugeben

It works to an extent. When it detects an error in your sentence format and you click to correct it, you are then sent to a PAYWALL to have it corrected.

Great except it keeps on pushing premium only issues in my face, honestly ruins it.

At first it seemed nice, but it's been getting in the way. At first it passively highlighted problem areas for me to review, but today it's been agressively throwing up dialogs on its own, blocking my work. It also abuses its access to my attention by marking an error but pitching it's paid service when I click on the text. It does have a good dictionary (much better than the native Firefox spell checker) but the gramar engine is stuck on pedantic. It enforces rules that aren't required unless you're writing a formal document. The last straw was when it started trying to autocomplete sentences. Today I typed, "work address:" and it threw my actual work address (and how does it know my real work address?) into the email. I ignored it but the suggestion kept popping up as I edited that part of the email. It ultimately inserted the address by itself, on a blank line, between "work address:" and the address I had already added. It even used a font style that didn't match the surounding text.

A year ago, this tool was just a spell and grammar checker. There was no mention of AI on it's home page.

Now it's decided to revamp itself as an "AI tool".

Which means one of two things:

Either it is, genuinely, more of an "AI tool" now than it used to be, in which case it gets an immediate boot from my browser. If it's been an "AI tool" this whole time, training a large language model off my text, I regret not removing it sooner.

Or, they're trying to pick up on the current marketing craze and slap "AI" on their basic spell check and grammar tool which is less insidious than it is annoying and sad.

Either way, it's been real, but nothing that is or claims to be "AI" is allowed on my browser. Seeya.
