I tried this after LanguageTool went subscription model. Is it ironic that the creator talks about the competitions shortcomings but does nothing to address those that occur in their own checker.

First off it's only fast when it's wrong, but that doesn't mean it will always be correct when it's slow.
One of my biggest peeves is when i spot an error myself and it hasn't, so I grab the mouse to move the cursor to do the edit and at the last moment it underlines the error as I place the cursor, which freezes the cursor and I can't type anything. In order to release it I have to accept the suggested correction or click on dismiss. If the suggestion isn't right and I dismiss it, then cursor is no longer within the text that needs editing.

It often questions my use of "to" instead of "too" in places it doesn't make sense.

It warns me of an unpaired quotation mark before I've written the second word after the opening quotation mark.
In the first 2 weeks I bothered with sending a report with each new error I encountered but when they continued to occur I found it easier to remove it's access to the sites that comment a lot on.
It identifies spelling errors but leaves half of the word there when it replaces it. So something like "confesion" will end up as "conconfession". Sometimes it will remove some of the next word instead. Then it marks that as an error but can't offer the right correction.
I have perservered with it for about 6 weeks but I am done with it now. The straw that broke the camels back? Telling me my sentence is too long while underlining the full stop - space - capital letter sequence within the "sentence" that's too long. It never offers a suggestion to remedy it and nothing I do to alter that passage of text satisfies it.

i like the UI for seeing/choosing/applying corrections

Please improve it. Also, I use English and German at the same time. Right now this makes it inpractical.

The spag features are good, and I'd still be using this if it wasn't for the fact that it won't let you put your cursor at any point which is highlighted.

eh, not much better than the built in one. what REALLY REALLY drives me crazy and makes it totally unusable for me, is the fact that you cant click on ANYTHING that it has a line under it, whether its a green line or a red line, if you try to left click to put your cursor in ANYTHING that has ANY line under it, itll just pop up that menu as opposed to putting your cursor there. that gets SUPER SUPER SUPER frustrating after a while because if i want to change a word thats in the middle of a sentence that is underlined with a green line, well i have to click the cursor some where outside of the stuff thats underlined, and then use the arrow keys to manually go over to the word, ridiculous.

Works very well here on Linux, delighted with this extension. Great contribution to the community!

Exactly what I needed.

Tried to write with it and it doesn't work. It suggests corrections, but if you click on the corrected words it doesn't change them to the correct term. To top it off, you have to turn it on every time on a site and it doesn't even work for that time either.

it works really good if you only speak english, but if you speak multiple languages, it then moans about me being illiterate and i gotta fix my text.
i dont even know if there is a proper way without using AI to be able to have more than 1 languages and it can detect itself what im using, because i tend to switch between english and swedish very often. i know languagetool did this, but now with them asking people to pay 5$ monthly as if its some movie streaming website and not just a firefox addon for grammar, i'm forced to look elsewhere.

I gave this add-on one more try. Nothing has changed. It's still crap.

Fantastic grammatical add-on from amateur English learners to professional wordsmiths. The complete lack of bloated AI features, paywalls, and major issues makes this a must-have for most Firefox users. Hats off to the developers and I greatly appreciate the work involved to create this brilliant tool!

After LanguageTool got into bed with AI, that was it for me. Having this run locally to run spell check is just what I need.

Language tool is now payware only, I just wanted something to check my spelling and grammar in message and form fields and this does the job 100% and better.

using for week, works great....

pretty great, just a tad bit buggy

This project is both highly effective and beautiful! Thank you for offering a tool that checks every box: free, form, and function!
