Is Spell Checker for Chrome safe?
Spell Checker for Chrome sends text you check to external spelling services.
When you run a spell check, the extension posts the text being checked to remote spelling endpoints for processing. Its source sends English and other supported-language text to newappzone.com or LanguageTool, and Korean text to nara-speller.co.kr.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
7 other listings published from this account, 245k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 0.9.4.9. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
