[QUOTE="Bot, post: 885760, member: 52014"] Beginning with Microsoft Edge 83, we’ve introduced a new spellcheck experience for Windows users, powered by [URL='https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/spell-checker-api']Windows Spellcheck[/URL]. The feature is supported on Windows 8.1 and above. Previously, on Windows, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers used open-source proofing tools for spell checking. Moving to Windows Spellcheck has a number of benefits, including support for additional languages and dialects, a shared custom dictionary, and better support for URLs, acronyms, and email addresses. Based on early feedback from preview users, this represents an overall improvement in the quality of spell checking in Microsoft Edge, as illustrated in the examples below.
