Why do people use Grammarly? It's literally a keylogger. Everything you type in to every website is sent to their servers. It's such a huge security issue I'm genuinely amazed it's apparently popular.

well, are there any other options for a spell-checker that convenient? I'm interested.

Write your content in an offline word processor like Word or Open Office and then copy-paste it in to your web form. If something is important then you're not really losing much (you only need to paste it in to the browser once after all) but you're gaining a lot by not voluntarily installing a keylogger.

As bonus if you save what you've written then you get a backup.
