Spell Check STILL NOT WORKING

I'm sorry but this is garbage.

I see posts here from five years ago asking about this, and fixing this issue is a non-trivial process particularly for those not computer literate enough. It should literally just work out of the box with zero issues like EVERY OTHER BROWSER.

Crap like this is why I dumped this browser years ago, I guess I was right to do so.

Hi

To help us to look into this matter, can you provide an example?

An example of what?

IT'S BEEN YEARS.

I'm moving on to another browser.

Do better?

I was kind of looking for something that I could replicate here and hopefully find a solution for you or at least understand the issue better, but thank you for your feedback.

Make sure you have a Dictionary installed and selected as only a few language locales comes with a dictionary due to licensing reasons.

1. There is no option to install a dictionary anywhere. Perhaps this is because I am on macOS?

2. This should not be necessary. EVERY other browser I have ever used does not have this weird requirement.

It's been years. I have today moved to Opera for my secondary browser.
