How to disable spell check in Google chrome browser
Google chrome browser has the spell check enabled as default, and there is no option to disable it. There are many people who don’t like the spell checker and need that to be removed.
As there is no option directly, i found one in Google forums, and here it is.
Firstly you have to go to a dictionary file which is a .bdic file, and here is its location -
In windows XP – C:Documents and Settings > [Your Username] > Local Settings > Application Data > Google > Chrome > Application > Dictionaries
In windows Vista – C: Users > [Your Username] > AppData > Local > Google > Chrome > Application > Dictionaries
(Username is your Windows username)
Open the file in a text editor and delete everything in it, then save the file. Don’t delete the file because Chrome will replace it with the correct one, just make it an empty 0 KB file!
This will disable the spell check option in your Chrome browser.
Note: Still i suggest you to have a backup of that dictionary file.
