by Michael1990, 2 months agoPaywalled now; I don't know if it used AI before, but if they didn't use AI when it was free, then shame on you devs for adding AI on something that worked just great, just so you could make this previously amazing free extension into some paid subscription stuff.
I'm not one of those dogmatic people who irraitionally hates on everything AI for no reason, but in this case this extension was amazing back then when it (possibly) didn't use AI, until you decided to fix something free that wasn't broken and left us with something broken no one asked for, only to make this paid?
I understand you need money, but instead of DELETING features that worked well on the free plan; you could've just ADDED value instead and make that paid only instead of taking down the whole extension.
I'm deleting this extension as soon as I am able to do it and not going back. Look elsewhere for an alternative, people. And as for AI, if i wanted AI translators, we already have Firefox's own website translation service for free and local; why pay for what we already have on our browsers for free?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lui5Jo53in, 2 days agoIf I have to pay because they're now using AI APIs to correct texts, I have no reason to use them.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Meyus, 2 days agoAs of lately, wants a subscription even for simple grammar check, with bogus reasoning. Basically lying to the user, why its necessary to pay now. All of a sudden.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Pandorasbox0001, 3 days agoThis is an AI riddled awful checker that now requires payment when it used to be free. I suspect its to fund the AI

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18462043, 3 days agoThe overuse of AI is getting tiring. I dont want an "enhanced experience designed to make my writing sound more professional, eloquent and solid", I want a spellcheck that works on several languages, the list of which I can choose from and customize. It was perfect before, there was no reason to change it

- Rated 1 out of 5by Kilominum, 4 days agoIt is a good tool but you only get a 14 day free trial after which it requires you to pay
- Rated 1 out of 5by Thomasp942, 4 days agoThis extension used to be great and it worked perfectly for years. Then all of a sudden it starts with annoying popups all the time and it no longer works. What a shame.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20147637, 4 days agoNow requires payment to fund AI features no one asked for. So long, and thanks for the fish.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19898616, 4 days agoNoooo!!! This was one of my top 3 extensions that I always choose when I reinstall everything. And now it's pay only? Please no!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Edge, 5 days agoRip, used to use it for writing and now you need to register for a subscription.
- Rated 1 out of 5by HSR, 5 days agoBisher ein sehr gutes Plugin, jedoch als Bezahlvariante für mich nicht mehr interessant, daher nur einen Stern
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20144828, 5 days ago"Oh, we need more money, to run AI in I language tool, pay us, peasants". Yeah, how about you don't use AI, then? Also, you greedy bastards got public funding, for what? To rob people?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anonymous, 5 days agoThey complain that people don't pay for this. Why would anyone pay for a glorified spell-check? If you're looking for an alternative, try Harper, it's free and open-source.
