Rated 3 out of 5
by Святослав, 5 years agoЧто то у меня складывается двоякое впечатление, что с каждым обновлением идёт ограничение возможностей... специально сделал простую ошибку и корректор не справился, то есть даже близкого варианта не дал (яндекс исправил сразу) ➜ https://i4.imageban.ru/out/2021/11/28/ef517302342ae81ff5e87be747a27eb7.jpg
Хотя раньше подобного не было.
Плюс к тому же ещё одна неприятная ситуация... После обновления до версии 4.4.0 браузер стал дольше загружаться... моё мнение, вина тому встроенный таймер рекламы (зачем он?)

Скорость загрузки браузера на позапрошлой версии...

P.S.
Вот и спрашивается, зачем мне продолжать пользоваться вашим приложением, если производительность браузера стала падать, плюс явное занижение возможностей приложения.

I have a twofold impression that with each update there is a limitation of possibilities... I made a simple mistake on purpose and the proofreader failed, that is, I didn't even give a close option (yandex corrected it right away) ➜ https://i4.imageban.ru/out/2021/11/28/ef517302342ae81ff5e87be747a27eb7.jpg
Although there was no such thing before.
Plus, another unpleasant situation... After upgrading to version 4.0, the browser took longer to load... my opinion, the fault is the built-in advertising timer (why is it?)

Browser loading speed on the version before last...

So the question is, why should I continue to use your application if the browser performance began to drop, plus a clear underestimation of the application's capabilities.

Дополнительно: Ответ разработчику...
Ну да, давайте приплетать систему, а на втором компьютер проблема тоже характерная для моей системы? Та же проблема, замедление запуска браузера на несколько секунд...
Так что проблема в вашем дополнение, а конкретней в рекламном таймере.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally: The answer to the developer ...
Well, yes, let's tie in the system, and on the second computer the problem is also characteristic of my system? The same problem, slowing down the launch of the browser for a few seconds ...
So the problem is in your add-on, and more specifically in the advertising timer.

posted 5 years agoHi, we constantly improve LanguageTool. We have 2 million installations of our add-on across browsers, and so far, nobody else complained about the add-on becoming slower. I suspect this might be an issue specific to your system. Feel free to contact our support. You can find the email at https://languagetool.org/legal.
Update: Neither we nor any other user can confirm the issue, so please contact our support with more details about your browser version, operating system and other add-ons in use.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Manshoon, 12 hours agoAfter several years of collecting our data, they're turning their backs on us by blocking our access while they wait to collect our money.
- It was okay, I only chose this over others as it was the least annoying. Not amazing, I never engaged much with the AI side (as in using it to fully refine things) but it got context better than others did when suggesting fixes, so there's 2 stars. But no, I'm not going to pay for it because it has AI rewrite features, because I don't use those, just grammar and spelling fixes.
It's unfortunate they have to make it premium only because not enough people are paying for it, but maybe that's because it's not *amazing*, just cheaper than Grammarly.
I think another reviewer put it perfectly; LT saves you the time it takes to open up an LLM and paste your text in. And now that on firefox you can have most LLMs just pop up in the sidebar, it really doesn't take that long. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6107870, 2 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nebulous_Phage, 2 days agoWas a handy tool! Shame that they decided to paywall this to premium. Removed and uninstalled.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20073181, 2 days agoUnfortunately, they decided to switch to Premium only for very dubious, greedy reasons. So I will no longer be using it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Fenrir Strange, 3 days agoThis was a wonderful little tool for years, it is neither unique enough, nor useful enough to me to pay for this now that they want to blame AI for the change to paid premium service for spelling and grammar. y'all lost your damned minds over AI and got greedy
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18875723, 3 days agoShame on the decision to monetise. Was great while it lasted.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Moon Shot, 4 days agoWent premium, not useful enough, nor unique enough to pay for, especially when all it actually does is save you typing it into chat GPT with the prompt "refine this:" followed by your text.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20013628, 4 days agoWas never that good to begin with, not sure why i even kept it around this long, the suggestions were almost always worse than what I've already came up with.

It's spyware. Even if you pay for that, which I regret doing.
Interesting nuance is that I believe couple of years ago it was not like this. Since US company (probably private equity) bought this, it turned into spyware. - Rated 1 out of 5by a_bored_browser_and_writer, 5 days agoThis worked great for me for many years. Unfortunately, now the basic function of spelling and grammar fixes are locked behind the premium service, so it's basically useless outside of the in-browser editor for me. How sad that they've done this.
