by miguelk, 7 years agoI don't get it. In basic mode the ad-don does nothing. Right click on selected text opens new tab with misspelled word highlighted. And that's it. The misspelled word never gets replaced...and it shouldn't open a new tab either...as it is, it's useless. Please advise. Thank you...

posted 7 years agoThe add-on underlines errors while typing. That works on almost any site, except addons.mozilla.org, Chrome Webstore and Google Docs and very few others. If it doesn't work for you, please contact me at the address given at https://languagetool.org/legal/, specifying the website where it doesn't work. Using the context menu to open a new tab is meant for static texts, not for texts you have written into a text area.

- Rated 1 out of 5by gmonly, 2 hours agoWas real helpful before you had to pay for it. Now it is useless for me, I can not afford to pay for this, I will be removing this add-on and putting on my list of not to ever add again, this will also be for the Learneo Services, because they will drop you like they just did with this add-on.
- Rated 1 out of 5by portal cake, 7 hours agoThis used to be a good extension that I used on a regular basis.
Although it wasn't perfect and I had to add a lot of words to the dictionary, it still did its job.
But after they made it completely paid, it became absolutely useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by June, 19 hours agoWent from being a wonderful tool to now only usable if you're a premium user. It's a terrible change no matter the reason. I will be uninstalling and finding another spell checker.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Maka, 2 days agoC'est devenu payant... je désinstalle et je retourne en mode gramanazi.
- Rated 1 out of 5by bbeeohazardd, 3 days agoWas great until it forced me on a "premium trial" without even notifying me and then wouldn't even let me go back to the regular version and I was forced to uninstall. Real scummy.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Golfy, 3 days agoI know that open source don't means free/gratis. But I dislike the way this product become less acurate in the time and how marketing justify why browser plugin will be a premium functionnality. As a teacher, I was advising my students to use it... now, I'll advise them to use Grammalecte.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14337437, 3 days agoThey want me to upgrade to premium so that I can still use it. I don't do subscriptions tho. Good riddance then.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20083741, 4 days agoI've been a big fan of this one for a few years but seeing that they've made it a paywalled extension. a SUBSCRIPTION, at that. I am now looking for a new grammar and spell checker.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tsaghira, 4 days agoThe extension itself works great. My rating is based on the fact that they are switching entirely to being a paid service only. I will be removing the extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6772518, 4 days agoI rarely need a grammar checker these days, but I have found almost all of the suggestions I get in "picky" mode — particularly when I am writing something a bit more formal than a text — very reasonable. The fact that I probably "only" use about 10-20% of them should be taken in the context that I have used other grammar/spell checkers and rarely take their suggestions at all!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sérgio Henrique S P, 4 days agoRealmente a extensão é ótima, mas, agora, ficou paga, após 14 dias de uso. Ainda não tem outra aqui no Firefox, mas já tem para Chrome.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Pitt, 6 days agoAfter years of using this free open-source tool, it’s sad to see it suddenly locked behind a mandatory paywall.
This is a textbook definition of "enshittification"!
Thanks for the good years, and good luck. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19668763, 6 days agoLa version gratuite était tres bien. Mais ils ont décidé de mettre un place un paywall. Bref je déconseille.
