The Spanish (Spain) Dictionary Chrome extension offers robust spell checking for Spanish text, specifically tailored to the es-ES variant. Originally developed as part of the RLA-ES project for OpenOffice.org by Santiago Bosio, this tool enables users to check spelling directly within text input fields across browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey, as well as email clients like Thunderbird. It integrates seamlessly, allowing you to right-click on any text area and select "Check spelling" to validate your Spanish writing.

Please note, this extension is strictly a spell checker and does not provide definitions or language learning resources. It is specially designed for writers seeking to ensure accurate Spanish (Spain) orthography while composing emails, webforms, or documents online.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Spanish (Spain) Dictionary does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
