Disable spell checking
-
I just came upon this interesting browser by reading a blog [url=http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=40389.msg377241]article [/url]at donationcoder.com, One of the first things I notice is, that spell checking is active. How can I disable this? All kind of spell checking is mostly distractive for me.

Would love to disable this as well! -
How can I disable this?
The most obvious way is to right click on a text area and go to the spell checking settings
The less obvious (but faster) way is to open directly the related page using the following address
vivaldi://settings/languages
-
I already tried this, but vivaldi://settings/languages points me just to the settings screen, nothing language specific here. (Latest 1.2.490.39 on OSX).
Going into language settings via right-click in a textbox opens some language dialog, but here I cannot disable spell checking, I can only e.g. remove English then I'm left with an entry "English (United States)".
When I open this language settings dialog again, then again I have 2 entries there English (US) and English (although I removed "English" before), strange… -
Try
chrome://settings/languages
There is a checkbox on the bottom left side of the windows about the spell checking.
-
chrome://settings/languages opens the same dialog as right-clicking in a text-box and selecting language settings.
I don't see a checkbox here (see attached screenshot) ??

It does not seem to work for English (UK) though.

I got it working OK for the German language, and I have an option to disable spell-checking too.

Strange, my context menu looks very different:

Even without selection it looks very different, guess that's platform specific (I'm on OSX). Anyway, adding a language leaded to a disabled spell checker anyway (as said, no red lines anymore)
