At downloadsource.es we have already shown you how to use the Windows 10 spell checker in the Microsoft Edge web browser.

Windows 10 offers one of the best spell checkers out there, far better than the spell checker that is built into web browsers like Google Chrome by default. Additionally, for the benefit of users, the Windows 10 spell checker now offers the integration and ability to check spelling in other programs such as Chromium-based web browsers..
This means that you can now use the Windows 10 spell checker not only in the Edge Web browser but you can also use it in the Google Chrome browser. However, you should know that by default, Google Chrome will use the default spell checker of the browser itself.
That is why to use the spell checker of the Windows 10 operating system in the Google Chrome web browser, you must activate it manually. However, if you are happy with the work of Chrome's default checker, you should know that you can use both at the same time in a hybrid way. That is, you can use both the Google Spell Checker and the Windows one in the Google Chrome browser..
That said, below we show you how to use the Windows 10 spell checker in the Google Chrome Web browser:
