Grammar Checker Proof-reader
-
@TimB79 When you install language tool this dialog appears.
I think blocking is enabled by default, but I may be wrong. Grammarly did not work for me until I disabled it.
Yes, it may be too much to expect from the Vivaldi Team, but perhaps they could use the Open Source Proofreader linked to in my first post. Just "smart quotes" would be helpful. Language tool does not support them.

@Pesala : Curios, I accepted the question you showed already and changed nothing, but today Lanuagetool is working fine. Perhaps I missed a message that a browser restart is needed? It was definatly not working right after installment, I tested at least 3 times writing at twitter. And today it is working on twitter posts fine. So Lanuagetool is working.
But for Grammerly I still stuck. If you would be so kind to install grammerly just for a temporary test on your side, if you bring it to work, would be great. I know its much, but so people find this threat can be sure that it working at least for vivaldi on your side. And I have to figure out what setting is blocking grammerly on my side.
Big thanks for your advises!

@TimB79 I already tested it. As I said, remove blocking.

@Pesala Thanks, but currios. As I said, my default was (and still is) no blocking in settings. I check the site settings as you show, but mine is already no block:
Screen shot from my site , twitter example:
I see Grammerly is active as extension on the top-right of vivaldi, where all extensions show up. Currently I only have Grammerly on, to be sure it's not broken because of other extensions.
But still is not grammerly active when writing in text boxes.
I tested at twitter and on google docs, no grammerly icons shows up.
Here twitter example:
As I understand, same as with Lanuagetool, on the lower-right-side, icons and advices/checks should appear. For Lanuagetool its working, on Grammerly I see nothing appearing. -
Now it working. I think it was again restart is needed (and/or site reload), stopping language tool and start vivaldi again and reload the site, and then grammerly icon showed up. Seems scripts are loaded at reload of site.
But seems to find not really context sensitiv things. I can type complete non-sense and grammerly is not giving advices. I thought it would work better. -
Just for the next people searching web for Grammarly and LanguageTool with Vivaldi.
So, I got both working. It's important to reload the site, even after restart the browser. The site reload is the necessary thing.But I am very disappointed. From Grammarly totally. LanguageTool could be better, but found more mistakes in my nonsense text as Grrammerly.
Grammerly output screenshot follow next. On Grammerly I am also disappointed, that clicking the icon is just showing ads for buying it instead a summary:
Crazy how many obvious mistakes Grammarly is missing!LanguageTool finds more mistakes. And I also like the summary output.
LanguageTool output screenshot follow next.
That both tools are not correcting "is you" to "are you" I am wondering a lot. Are English sentence possible where "is you" make sense?

When language mistakes are made, the cause is you!
-
in your screenshot example, the "or is you" is a basic grammar mistake. it is disappointing that those two grammar checkers didn't catch that. even though you are testing the basic versions, not premium, it is a basic grammar mistake, so it should have been caught.

that song's name of "IS YOU IS OR IS YOU AIN'T MY BABY" is just a stylized way of speaking by some african americans, but it is wrong grammar. correctly, it should be "ARE YOU OR ARE YOU NOT MY BABY".
