The United States English Spellchecker Chrome extension is an outdated tool that provided a subset of the original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for spellchecking purposes. This extension is no longer maintained, and users are advised to switch to the recommended US English dictionary for continued support and updates.

Originally, the extension utilized a modified affix file based on Geoff Kuenning's Ispell, ensuring compatibility and comprehensive English language support under respective licenses. For the best spellchecking experience on Chrome, consider using the suggested alternative extension linked within the original extension's details.

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.

United States English Spellchecker does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

United States English Spellchecker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
