An easy and practical spell and grammar checker for online writers to type an email, a blog post, or just a simple tweet or a response

It will improve writing efficiency to have a practical spell and grammar checker for authors who often write for online articles or posts. I found an awesome tool which not only helps us check spelling and grammar mistakes for online text, but also provides us the possibilities to correct the spelling and grammar mistakes. It supports Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge as well as Safari. You can use it for any writing in the browser, including writing an email, a blog post or just a simple tweet, or just reply a message.

Besides, it has also other many useful functions, for example, integrating with your favorite office programs. But here I just show you how to use it for online writing, for instance. As follows, I display how to install it and use it as an extension for Chrome. It is very similar process to install it and use it for other web browsers.
