- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18893310, 4 hours agoWas a fantastic addon, now they are paywalling it. Even when there was a previous model which was useful for free users and paid users. Avoid it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by user, 20 hours agoКогда то он был хорош, но агресивный переход на платную версию все убил.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18547511, 21 hours agoC’était un bon outil mais le paywall c'est non.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14817616, a day agoAntiguamente era una aplicación que podía usarse de manera gratuita. Ahora solo te dan una prueba de 14 y listo. Una lastima.
- Rated 1 out of 5by randomguy22132, a day agoworked great until they disabled it for non paying users
- Rated 1 out of 5by PurpleGoat, a day agoGone from free to paywall if you want to use the app, just wish I could give zero stars.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15783625, a day agoFue un gran complemento hasta que cayeron estrepitosamente en el AI Slop y en el Paywallet. Ya mismo la desinstalo.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ricky Riot, a day agoThis extension does exactly what you need it to do, so why the 1* review? AI and data mining, that's why.
I installed this because Firefox's own spell checker kept failing. Upon installation it requires you to accept their "very broad" scope for monitoring (ie: data mining) as in it monitors every single page you visit (irrespective of whether the extension is used on that page), meanwhile it offers up AI solutions to every situation.
All round an average product totally hampered by extremely poor data mining and AI support. Absolutely no trust should be extended to this extension or the company responsible.
Nothing here is "illegal" but it is "dodgy". Install at your own risk. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20053455, a day ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by CharonMoon, 2 days agoWhat are you doing? Professional suicide. You've gone from offering a free product to wanting to charge €80!
Using AI as an excuse! Who are you trying to fool?
You can't do that; there's no middle ground. Either you pay, or you don't get the service. Not even a free option with limited features, NOTHING.
Greed is your downfall.
Shame on you... - Rated 1 out of 5by scyemny, 2 days agono longer a free app and therefore no longer installed on my browser. there are subscriptions for literally everything we use these days Im certainly not adding this one to the list of ones Im paying for. frankly if i wanted to spend money there are better alternatives.

- Rated 5 out of 5by JW, 3 days agoI have to do a lot of reports via web page for client installations and having a spell and grammar check option that catches style suggestions, such as em dash usage, makes life very easy. Great extension!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by wmw, 3 days agoPaywalled since it became AI-encumbered. The whole extension is now completely useless.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ok, 5 days agoMozilla should do the same as steam, showing « all reviews » but also « recent ones », because that addon recently lost all its charm.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Michael1990, 6 days 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?
