How to activate Windows checker in Chrome

Google Chrome

Since Windows will launch Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, both users and Microsoft itself take advantage of all the advantages of using this project, since all the news that are included in each new version of Chrome, end in the version of Microsoft's browser.

To write articles both in Windows Noticias As in other blogs in which I collaborate, I use Firefox, a browser that for me is one of the best on the market, not only for its low consumption of resources, but also for the privacy it offers to the user, something increasingly important in recent years.

When using Firefox, I cannot make use of the Windows spell checker, so I am forced to use an additional extension to be able to check at a glance, if I have eaten any lyrics by during the writing of the articles.

Google Chrome incorporates a spell checker called HunSpell, a fairly basic checker that really does very little good. As of version 83 of this browser, we can make use of the spell checker built into Windows.

Each spell checker includes a series of vocabulary, vocabulary that adapts to our way of writing and where we add new words and being the system itself the one we use most frequently, there is no better option.

To start using Windows' built-in spell checker in Google Chrome, we must perform the following steps:

  • As it is not an additional function, it is not found in the configuration options, so we have to access the advanced configuration options by typing Chrome: // flags in the address bar.
  • In order not to search for this option among the large number of options that are displayed, we can use the upper search box and write Use The Windows OS surname checker.
  • By default, the drop-down box to the right of that option's title displays Default. To activate it, click on it and select Enabled.

For the changes to be made in the browser, click on the button refresh, button that is shown whenever we make a change in the advanced configuration options of Chrome.
