Install Compare

The German Dictionary (de_CH) extension offers a Hunspell-based spell-checking solution optimized for Swiss German users of Firefox 3+, Thunderbird 3+, Seamonkey 2+, and newer versions. It supports the "new" Swiss German orthography and improves spelling accuracy and consistency when composing texts in supported Mozilla applications. This dictionary is tailored specifically for Switzerlands' language nuances.

Designed as the Hunspell version of the igerman98 dictionary, it is only compatible with recent Mozilla applications due to Hunspell/Myspell incompatibilities. For users on legacy versions or having installation difficulties, helpful guidance and resources are provided. Users of Thunderbird 65 and onward should use WebExtension dictionaries available via official Mozilla add-ons. This extension is ideal for Swiss German speakers seeking reliable spell checking within Mozilla software environments.

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.

German dictionary (de_CH) 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 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.

German dictionary (de_CH) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
