User Reviews

Users repeatedly report very poor and often nonsensical suggestion/correction quality, especially for German compound words and small-typo cases. At the same time, duplicate reviews praise the extension’s functionality and UI and express acquisition interest, and some users consider it a useful browser add-on. Overall, major concerns center on accuracy and German-language handling.

Pros

Perceived good functionality and user interface (expressed in two near-identical reviews showing strong interest)
Adds value as a browser extension — some users view it as a useful tool

Cons

Inaccurate and nonsensical word suggestions/corrections (frequent garbage or irrelevant proposals)
Poor handling of German compound words — algorithm often fails on composed terms
Unpredictable replacements from small typos (single-letter mistakes can produce unrelated words)
Overall unreliable German implementation and quality of suggestions

Bitte keine alten Bewertungen beachten! Die stimmen einfach nicht mehr. Dieses Wörterbuch ist ausgezeichnet und wird auch u.a. in LibreOffice verwendet. Hier unter Linux – was aber keine Rolle spielen dürfte – war es zwar so, dass ein manuell installiertes Wörterbuch nicht in allen Textfeldern funktioniert hat, in manchen jedoch schon. Erst die offizielle Mozilla-Prozedur (Rechtsklick ins besagte Textfeld und von dort aus die Sprache auswählen, bzw. ein Wörterbuch hinzufügen) hat die Rechtschreibprüfung überall funktionieren lassen. Dieser Umstand ist aber NICHT dem Entwickler anzulasten, sondern ausschließlich Mozilla!

Is German Dictionary Safe?

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.

German Dictionary does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

German Dictionary has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood analysis details

Low This extension was updated more than 6 months ago. Older versions are more likely to be stable and safe.
