I am sure there are a few people around here who make use of Grammarly. I am sure @DieGrootHammer swears by it.
That being said, does anyone that makes use of this service pay for the premium benefits?

I used Grammarly for a while but haven’t installed in a very long time. It’s a good plugin though and would recommend it.

Yeah it is great, it does help me a lot of time with finding better suggested words. In general my grammar is mostly okay, but primarily interested in the tone of my message, but this comes more with premium which is what I was wondering if it being worth it.

Honestly if I could afford it I would pay for it, I love Grammarly.

Wow… I only just noticed, it’s a whopping $30 a month!
I quickly noped out of that idea. Thanks for the info however.

A free alternative plugin - at least for writing online, and when using Edge:
Microsoft Editor: Spelling and Grammar Checker
For offline writing, the builtin grammar and synonym tools in Word are excellent.

Haha apparently Edge is much better now that it uses Chromium. Haven’t given it a proper try though.

Obviously MS is going to recommend that you use their search engine, but it’s easy to change it to Google (or any other search provider for that matter, including MEW!)

It’s Microsoft, of course it’s malware! ;D
First thing I do in any new browser install is go in to the settings, change my default search engine to DDG (you can get google results by typing !g after, bing results !b, google images !gi, etc… really quick to search specific websites directly, like !w for wikipedia). Make sure downloads are set to prompt where to save, turn off saved password and form data, delete history on exit, etc etc, the usual paranoia stuff. Then on to privacytools.io to grab all the privacy plug-ins.
Also, did anyone else catch this news?
Aw hellz no!
