User reviews

Doesn't remove spellcheck from textareas. The only thing I wanted a "remove spellcheck" addon to do. 1/5.

A great and useful extension for correcting something that shouldn't need correcting. Although it's Google's fault that an extension like this is needed, it does what it says very well, simply and efficiently. In my opinion it's one of those 'must have' extensions that you'll find useful even if you don't think so to start with. And by the way, to answer another reviewer's question, this is one of those extensions that doesn't show up in the extensions toolbar. To view and enable/disable it, go to options and select extensions.
