Extension summary

The Website Spell Checker is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you identify and correct spelling mistakes directly within web pages. Whether you're proofreading a blog post, checking the text on your website, or simply reading online content, this extension makes it easy to spot and fix errors without any hassle.

Key Features:

Easy Activation: Simply click the "Activate Spellcheck" button in the extension's popup to start the spell check. The extension will underline any misspelled words or incorrect spellings in red, making them easy to spot and correct.

Simple Deactivation: To stop the spell check, just refresh the page. This will return the page to its original state, with all links and interactions restored to normal functionality.

Editable Page Mode: While the spell check is active, the webpage becomes editable. This change is necessary for the spell check to work correctly. Don’t worry; it's a temporary change that only lasts while the extension is active.

Link Handling: All links on the page become non-clickable while the extension is enabled. This prevents accidental navigation and ensures you can focus on editing the text. If you need to click on any links, simply reload the page to deactivate the extension.

Detailed Usage Instructions:

Activate Spell Check: Open the popup by clicking the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar. Click the "Activate Spellcheck" button. The button will display "wait..." while the script is being executed. Once the spell check is active, the button text will change to "activated," and misspelled words will be underlined in red.
