## Review summary

The Hungarian Dictionary add-on was initially well-received for providing reliable spell checking in Hungarian. However, because it has not been updated in years, recent spelling changes are not reflected, causing many correct words to be marked as errors. Multiple users report it underlines many correct words incorrectly, making it currently unreliable and frustrating to use despite the effort invested by the developers.

### Pros

- Provides Hungarian spell checking for Firefox users.
- Originally worked well with few errors.
- Helpful for users needing Hungarian language support, including non-native speakers.
- Appreciated by users for the effort put into its development.

### Cons

- Not updated for 5 years leading to outdated spell checking rules.
- Fails to recognize many correct words, marking them as errors.
- Now frequently flags correct words as misspelled resulting in poor usability.
- The dictionary is considered almost unusable by some users due to false positives.
