User reviews

Users appreciate ProWritingAid's consistent improvements, helpful writing suggestions, and seamless website integration. It's praised as a more affordable alternative to similar tools like Grammarly. However, multiple reviewers report significant lag and slowdowns in Firefox, complicating writing tasks. The interface is sometimes confusing, and the add-on ignores some user settings, raising privacy concerns. Additionally, the free account's low word count limit restricts usability for some users.

Pros

Continuous improvement and ongoing feature updates over the years.
Helpful integration with different websites without being intrusive.
Useful for writers in catching typos and suggesting alternative wordings.
More affordable compared to competitors like Grammarly.

Cons

Causes significant lag and slows down Firefox, making typing difficult.
The user interface can be confusing and complicated to use.
Does not fully respect user settings by running on disabled sites, impacting privacy.
Free version is limited with a low word count limit (500 words).

Recent reviews

They have continued to improve the product over the years, and I love the integration with different sites while still staying out of the way.

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.

ProWritingAid requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

ProWritingAid may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
