Rated 3 out of 5 stars

If you look at the developer contents you'll see the core of this spellchecker's shortcomings: "I would remember to everybody that this extension provides only an United States English spellchecker". It's clear from this sentence that the author is not a native speaker of English, and this is a dictionary for spellchecking, not definitions. Its list of words could also be considerably expanded -- to include words like "spellchecker" for instance. That said it's still the only game in town for users of U.S. English who do a lot of writing in a browser window, and correcting and adding words is a simple matter of right-clicking and picking the correct option.
