I used Chrome for ages, and migrated to Firefox. The spell check on Chrome has an option to give use the internet to offer suggestions on spelling corrections.

The option is now called "Enhanced Spell Check" and it states that it uses the same spell checker that's used in Google Search.

Something similar would be helpful in Firefox as the built in Spell Checker is rather lacking and seems to fail often on newer or more rarely used words. Sometimes it just completely fails.

For example: I wrote: "hipocritical" Firefox's suggestion: "theocracy" Chromes "enhanced" suggestion: 'hypocritical"
