# Spell Checking?



If you are looking for spell checking we recommend [Grammarly](https://www.grammarly.com/) and [LanguageTool](https://languagetool.org/) as they both provide browser extensions for spelling and grammar checking.



# Update times and release



When the developers of the extension think that a new release is ready and tested, they create a new release and publish it on Firefox and Chrome addons stores. Then, we have to wait a few hours for Chrome and Firefox. After that, all installations will be updated automatically.
