Grammarly Chrome Plugin

[Skiver Veteran]

No idea how I found this but I came across a neat little plugin for Chrome, (sadly it doesn't look like it supports any other Browsers atm) that helps to keep your spelling and grammar on track. I know it shouldn't be too hard but if you're like me and you type quickly and was never someone to pay attention at school my spelling/grammar is terrible. I try to correct where possible but I often miss little things.

 

I've only just started to use it but it's picked up on a few things, so so far so good

Installed it in chrome ... I'm just wondering,  is it sending everything I type back to their servers?

I know about it since long but I noticed that it makes Firefox contenteditable properties regress, I tested it on richtext2 of browserscope.org and Firefox performed horrible with Grammarly installed. Since then not using it.

Again you've already had it answered but yes it is. I got an email just yesterday telling me "statistics" like how many words were written, how many corrections were made and how many unique words I used in my vocabulary.

I guess you'll never really know without doing any true digging into it, but on the face of it no it doesn't appear to. There is a little green Icon in this text box as I type that every so often will spin and check - I don't get that in user/pass fields.
