The user experience with web browsers has improved significantly over the years. In addition to the integrated functions of these programs, the extensions that we add here play a fundamental role.
Although it is not good to abuse them, the truth is that these small software elements that we add to browsers like Chrome, Firefox or Edge increase their functionality and security in some cases. Among the many virtues that Google’s proposal offers us, which is precisely why it is the most used, is that it offers us a huge number of extensions to choose from.
But with everything and with this, as happens in most areas of technology, we must take certain precautions in this regard. The thing is that not all extensions work as well as we would like at first. For example, some can put our private data at risk, while others make excessive use of computer resources. Others are constantly running in the background, which directly affects the computer’s performance in a negative way.
In fact, we are telling you all this because over the last few days a very harmful element of these characteristics has been discovered in Chrome. As some users comment, it is an extension that constantly blocks the browser due to its internal functioning. In addition, we must keep in mind that it is a fairly popular and used plugin. Specifically we are referring to Grammarly for Chrome.
How Grammarly affects the Google browser
And as several users have mentioned on the popular Reddit website, the internal workings, in the background of this extension, damage Chrome. The main reason for all this is that Grammarly, when working, apparently constantly refreshes the screen, which made it impossible to navigate the websites.
This means that it constantly updates the content we have on the screen, which makes its use almost impossible, at least in the search giant’s browser.
Obviously, the solution is quite simple to solve the problem, and all we have to do is uninstall the program extension. But it may also happen that on certain occasions we are very accustomed to using it.
In this way, we are going to give you another solution that is somewhat more useful and effective in these cases. Apparently, Grammarly for Chrome works perfectly on other browsers based on the Chromium project. This means that, for example, if we install this in Microsoft Edge, it works perfectly here. Everything will depend on how much we depend on the use of this complement that we mentioned and how important it is in our daily life with the PC.
If we want to continue working in Chrome, we will have to look for a similar alternative, and if it is important to us, we can migrate to another Chromium browser from the many available. We can also wait a few weeks to see if the developers of the extension, as such, solve the bug and we can continue using it in Chrome without problems.
