As of September 4, 2026, at 8:54 p.m., this add-on no longer functions as described, which constitutes misleading advertising.

Now, users with limited financial means are being intentionally excluded—and this is happening at a company that receives public funding, which makes me seriously question its eligibility for such funding.

The add-on used to be very good, but due to a decision that was made, it’s barely worth 1 star anymore.
It’s a shame that there are companies that intentionally exclude people.

Worked well, no free tier anymore.

Welp, here we are.
"he rise of generative AI has made it more challenging to sustainably monetize our offering".
translation: "due to the server costs of running AI in our spellchecker we will start charging money for it".
Drop AI and the server costs will instantly become more manageable, I imagine.
To be clear, I'm not against a developer charging for their product - I am against developers jumping on a fad bandwagon and then crying about it. You're running a SPELLCHECKER, guys, you don’t need AI to run a dictionary search.
But now we can have "AI POWERED PARAPHRASING" How, oh how did the product even operate before the blessing of AI???
I just cannot treat this seriously, sorry, Word processor had this running smoothly 15 years ago, catch up!

Have loved using this app for a few years now. Now, out of nowhere, it's added Ai and now is behind a paywall. Go F yourself.

Pulled the usual bait-and-switch requiring payment for it to work it all. Uninstalling.

Really helps when communicating in a language that you're not 100% fluent.

The premium is expensive, but then it's not just a web browser extension; you can use it in countless apps, so for me it was a good deal at the time. I bought the 2 year one for around 80€.

Extrêmement pratique pour corriger des phrases entières en peu de temps. L'implémentation du correcteur est compatible avec la majorité des sites que j'ai pu consulter et les corrections ont toujours été pertinentes et rapides !

This addon worked great until the premium tier became required.

It was good until it isn't with recent change
v9.0.1 is better

Nouvelles version très bof côté vie privée.

Sorry - this is the badest move you can make. Telling AI ist ramping up the costs ist really a bad one and -in two- really not true. There are a lot of good examples out there how it's done. Without harming privacy anyways. And the pricetag is much to high. As a user of the premium subscription this makes me cancel that subscription anyway, because I was in belive supporting all the free (Plug-In)-Users with the high pricetag to the desktop version.

This extension sucks now.

Just use v9.0.1 and the add-on works again as it should. The dictionaries are included, that why it's about 15MB. Or we could simply edit the xpi (which is a ZIP) to fix the latest version. ;)

Jeez, forcing a premium subscription to use the extension. I switched over to this from grammarly because it became AI slop filled, but now this extension has done the same and is removing the free tier because of it. AI is expensive, harms the environment, and generally isn't worth the costs. Remove the AI features and return the free tier, you'll get way more users by doing that.

Used to be good, considering the free tier. Now only for premium subscribers. The developers should explicitly state this information upfront in the first lines of the extension description, allowing users to avoid spending time installing it and then uninstalling it a couple of minutes later.

Now asking for money for something which can be obtained for free or lower cost. Just because you dump in "AI" features that no-one asks for you can't then to try and use this to justify a "premium" price.

This move never works.

Used to be free for a long time, but has started asking for a premium subscription just to use it at all. I'm disabled and was using it to spell check but I can't afford this. I guess its back to mixed up words now if I'm not having a very efficient day with fighting it.
