Quote:Microsoft has recently released a highly-anticipated feature for its new Chromium-based Edge browser, as the work on the application advances.
 
Beginning with version 76.0.144.0, Microsoft Edge also sports a spell checker, which is actually one of the key features already available in the majority of browsers out there.
 
However, the original preview versions of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) lacked spell checking, most likely as the Redmond-based software giant had to develop a new engine that’s not tied to Windows 10.
 
The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser will launch not only on Windows 10 and previous Windows versions, but also on macOS. A Linux version could also land at some point in the future.
 
Users running the Canary build of Microsoft Edge can enable the spell-checking engine from the Settings screen, but for the time being, it looks like the feature is gradually rolling out to testers across the world. Some users see the option grayed out in Microsoft Edge, so Microsoft is probably running further tests before everyone can try it out.
