Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App by Grammarly
Review by Bence Szalai
Rated 2 out of 5
by Bence Szalai, 6 years agoIt offers very good functionality, however almost no configuration options. The plugin runs by default on all pages resulting in huge performance impact, severely increased memory use for Firefox and indeed privacy concerns.
Have you just started to type something sensitive on a page without remembering to disable Grammarly first? Bad luck, your data is already on their servers.
Setting the plugin to be disabled by default and only enabled on demand would be absolutely necessary. The way it is now, is shady and too pushy.
I can see how they want it to run everywhere, but still, this is a big no-no, to by default automatically send all my typing to a remote server.
Also the resource usage is really bad. If you use few tabs and restart browser every offten, probably it's fine, but I usually have several tens of tabs in variety of windows and Firefox running in one go for a week. Now, if you are such a user, disable this, and you'll be amazed how much better the overall responsiveness of Firefox will become.
Long story short: it offers nice feature, but the cost cannot be justified.
I'd just go to https://app.grammarly.com/ if I need writing assistance, and keep away from this plugin for good.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Debra Ortlip, 5 days agoI keep trying to sign in to my existing account as prompted in an email. It says to sign up, when I click, change to sign IN, enter my email address, click continue, it just flashes and goes nowhere. When I go back to email the message is still there. Even now I am logged in but still prompts me to sign up.

The app is very temperamental and unreliable. I thoroughly enjoy it when it's does work and not repeatedly requesting me to sign in, yet still doesn't activate when I click to sign-on and then click "Continue to Grammerly." It worked for a while when I re-installed TWICE. I read the troubleshooting instructions, but now the sign-in prompt is not showing up in order for me to follow the troubleshooting prompts. UGH!! - Rated 5 out of 5by 全民三退解体中共邪教, 6 days ago
