by Virtpunk, 3 months agoA huge thank you to the person who wrote a review below. I've been using this extension for five years, and in the latest version, either there's an unintentional bug, or the developers intentionally introduced a leak that hadn't existed for 10 years.
This extension is currently causing a memory leak in the browser, even when I'm not opening anything and only on one page. It reaches 60 gigabytes for me, after which everything in the OS starts crashing with errors, from the browser to other programs.
I've been racking my brains for 2-3 weeks of torment, I couldn't figure out what was going on, because I've been using all the extensions for years and everything has been working without a hitch for a long time.
And it turns out that's what it is. The extension, which had been reliable for years, is now leaky and buggy, leaking 40-60 gigs of memory.
As soon as I removed this extension, everything has been fine for several weeks now.

- Rated 1 out of 5by adshgaoi;uerhgeoah, a day agoAs many others have said, everything is behind a paywall now. Everyone wants subscriptions for everything now when no one has money to afford them. I can't and won't spend my limited funds on a spell-check.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18797470, 2 days agoIt was a brilliant add-on while it lasted, but I cannot justify paying for another subscription at the moment. It does feel like it came without warning!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nahuel, 2 days agoIt was great while it lasted, but I ain't paying for just using it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18352473, 3 days agoI enjoyed this extension, a lot. Really helped me catch multiple errors I've made from typing too fast and, unlike Grammarly, it was chill.
And now they're switching to paid version, only.
I wish them luck, hopefully the popping of the bubble won't affect them too much. - Rated 5 out of 5by laarriola, 3 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by GayHibiscus, 4 days agoIt moved to a paid subscription model after being free forever. Great quality for the most part, but that's unconscionable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Isxxc, 4 days agoGracias IA, te cargaste otra gran herramienta, y ni hablemos de la bajeza que fue cambiar a todos los usuarios al modo 'premium' para despues pedir pagar, qué practica tan desleal, bye bye.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12796543, 5 days agoSuddenly and without warning switch all users to "premium subscription" and make it timed.
Absolutely bait and switch. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17587600, 5 days agoDeplorable. Probably the best spell-checker out there. A least it was. Implemented neural networks into the extention, put all basic features behind the paywall and asked exuberant prices. Nasty work.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Judge_1987, 6 days agoThey decided to put all the functions under a paywall, and they're asking for some kind of wild price.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sierra, 7 days agoDevient vite indispensable ! Sérieuse aide pour rédiger des textes sans trop se poser de question sur certaines terminaisons. Vraiment super !

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20006296, 10 days agoFirma stwierdziła, że czas zarobić kasę. No to łapcie 1 gwiazdkę, a ja odinstalowywuję i idę do konkurencji. Krzyżyk na drogę.
