Spell check for Internet Explorer

I've been using ieSpell for years now. Works great.

That one is also good. I tried both and then decided to go with Speckie.

But it's still IE, which is enough to stop me from using it. Now if you found something that turned it into something like Firefox or Chrome... (although, I do have IE tab for Firefox, for those rare cases when IE is needed)

Come on, that is not a reason (don't be a fanboi). Have you even tried IE 9? (I am not talking about IE version < 9, those sucks) :)

Funny how none of these browser features that come up every now and again, is ever missing in Chrome :)
For some reason Chorme doesn't work for me, on all of my PCs, randomly I will have half rendered pages, which will be fine once I refresh the page. (and it doesn't feel like windows application, but that is not a reason I don't use Chrome). Might be my anti-virus doesn't like Chrome. I was using Firefox when IE 8 was the only option available. but now (so far) IE 9 works just fine.

I recommend Speckie[^]. I am using this since few months now (since I switched to IE9 :-D ) and it works fine so far. (too bad it only checks spelling and not grammar so you have to deal with me on grammar part.) So now people giving excuse to use Firefox instead of IE has one less excuse... ;P and from my experience IE9 on Windows 7 works far better than any other combination.
I just installed it on Win7 x64, IE9. Didn't do any spell checking as I typed.

I also have Windows 7 x64 and IE9 and it works just fine. :)

I don't think it's possible to persuade people to change their default browser. It's something they have to feel a need to do for themselves based on how they browse. I currently have the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera on my Win 7 box. Firefox is my default browser and that won't change anytime soon.

A little. I'm an add-on addict though, so unless it has all my usual add-ons it will never be a suitable replacement. Can't do Chrome for the same reason, and I'm usually slow to update Firefox, have to wait for my add-ons to catch up ;P

Yep, that's one reason why it will be hard to shift me from Firefox. :) There are others.

I am not even trying to :) , lot of people uses Firefox only because IE don't have spell check, or they complain about it. so I thought this might be helpful. And except add-ons (which I don't use) latest version of Firefox and chrome is same as IE9, add-ons makes me blame them every time browser crashes or hits the performance, same reason I don't like any icons on system tray, it reminds me that something is always running in background. before IE9 I was also using Firefox, but now compared to IE9 it takes too long to start up , clear history etc... I also don't like it opens new window for full screen silverlight/flash players, which sometimes stay in background until you press alt+tab. For performance/resource usage/responsiveness Chrome and IE9 is better than Firefox. But if you like add-ons, there is no option to Firefox.

I've had a new PC for a month. I've not noticed any difference in performance of the four browsers I mentioned. On my previous, very crippled PC, Firefox was very slow to start up. Once it was up I never noticed any difference in performance but of course memory consumption was a problem. This is irrelevant on my new PC (start-up is no slower than for the other browsers even with 23 Firefox add-ons) and memory usage seems to be a bit better in any case when I happen to examine it. I have more trouble with Chrome TBH. In any case, even if there really are differences in page rendering speed these are swamped by network latency and my broadband speed is poor. So, for me, it all comes down to usability and features. At this point Firefox wins by a long margin even discounting add-ons. However, it is also the case that I find no browser better than all others in every respect. That's one reason why I run four browsers and occasionally switch to the others. Even though Firefox remains my default it's good that the others are around as it allows all to copy learn from each other. :)
