Webpage Spell-Check - Instant Spell Check for Web Pages

Webpage Spell-Check is a Chrome extension designed to help web developers avoid embarrassing errors. It lets you check the spelling directly on the web-page in Chrome. Not only does it help identify errors that your favorite HTML editor might have missed, but it also offers suggestions for correction and allows for direct typo editing on the web-page. The extension uses Google Chrome's integrated spell-checker for accuracy and ease of use.

uninstalled and yet I still have the blinking text cursor and can't get rid of it
by Leeroy Jenkins, 2024-05-22

it worked for me after some playing around, however i get a weird issue where it automatically adds cursor: text; CSS to all my icons, buttons and links. Overriding the usual cursor: pointer; This is happening whenever the extension is activated, even if its not spell checking the website. I have to keep it turned off and remember to turn it on when i need it
