- Rated 5 out of 5by Marcin Rataj, 9 years agoThis young extension is an open and secure alternative to proprietary solutions such as Grammarly.
Main Feature: unlike competitors, it does not send anything to remote server unless user explicitly asks it to do so.
Ability to opt-in for automatic checks ONLY for specific websites is a very useful feature and a good design.
Keep up great work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13421309, 9 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12797576, 9 years agoGreat tool for those who want to write the correct way.
And better yet, is open source.
Ugly icon tho. - Rated 5 out of 5by ChelOis, 9 years agoDaniel Naber said: "Thanks for your feedback. This extension already works with Firefox 57+"
Great news!!! But somehow it is labeled as "Legacy" in my Add-ons list.Developer response
posted 9 years agoThis seems to be a Firefox bug. It's not tagged "legacy" for me and it also works with FF beta (which is FF57). - Rated 5 out of 5by Muhammad K Huda, 9 years agoNice, free, and very useful for non-native english people.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13313946, 9 years agoI love it, it just loses 2 stars for integration I know it is hard, would be great if it just corrected in the text like a normal spellchecker.
For those who have privacy concerns it is really easy to run your own serverDeveloper response

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 11233054, 9 years agoI write:
El niño esta en la guarderia
LanguageTool corrects me:
El niño esta en la guardería
The right thing is:
El niño está en la guardería
other,
I write:
eso esta echo
LanguageTool:
eso esta echo
The right thing is:
Eso está hecho
In Spanish the extension is still green, but it is a good idea - Rated 5 out of 5by Faculty Row Spam, 9 years agoIt really works for the purpose it is made for, Thank you!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sn3ipen, 9 years agoThis extension is superb when i am typing English, but i wish it would support Norwegian Bokmål. It would have made it useful for me half of the time.
It also didn't work when writing this review. Says "This site is not supported".Developer response
posted 9 years agoThanks for your review. We have to rely on the community when it comes to adding new languages. Unfortunately, adding support for a new language is more complicated than adding a list of words, which limits the number of people willing to work on this.
About this website (addons.mozilla.org) not working - it's a hard restriction by Firefox. As far as I know, no add-on that requires access to the HTML page will work on addons.mozilla.org. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13252386, 9 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by McStar, 9 years agoIt would be cool if add-on will incopsulated into the text field like native firefox spell-checkin and like on the https://languagetool.org/.

posted 9 years agoWe have now clarified the privacy policy: storing data is *extremely* rare. Even then, only the single sentence that caused an issue is stored. And even then, we don't store an IP address. Storing data in these rare cases is the only way for us to fix very rare bugs, as users just don't report bugs most of the time.
