Google search and spellcheck
I have spellcheck turned of in Windows and in PM as well.
Yet, fucking Google keeps underlining words anyway. Does anyone have any idea why, how, what...?

Re: Google search and spellcheck
I would say it would be something with your particular setup or extensions as I am not having this issue at all.

@Moonraker: I did look for that option in settings but it was not offered from what I saw.

Re: Google search and spellcheck
The quickest solution is to stop using Google.
You might want to check DuckDuckGo (which also provides economic funding to the Pale Moon project), Ekoru (ocean cleaning) or Ecosia (tree planting.)

Re: Google search and spellcheck
I am used to Google. And from what I heard it's unbeatable with results.
I am borderline autistic when it comes to visual side of things, so the other engines are a no go.
Anyway, Firefox underlines the stuff as well with its own spellcheck setting disabled, so it must be something else than my setup.

Re: Google search and spellcheck
No underlining here. (Neither have I a Google account nor are cookies enabled for Google.)
Spellcheck is enabled in Pale Moon.
Re: Google search and spellcheck
Actually, whether the spelling checker in Pale Moon is enabled or not won't make a difference because Google explicitly disabled the spell check on the input element meaning it is an exclusively server-side thing they do. If it doesn't happen you're likely blocking something that's needed for it to function (e.g. a specific piece of JS)
<input class="gLFyf gsfi" maxlength="2048" name="q" jsaction="paste:puy29d" aria-autocomplete="both" aria-haspopup="false" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autofocus="" role="combobox" spellcheck="false" title="Search" value="" aria-label="Search" data-ved="0ahUKEwizwqK5743nAhWIY1AKHW3rAhcQ39UDCAY" type="text">

Re: Google search and spellcheck
Oh, that's good new because I don't need to go crazy trying to figure out whether the Windows' spellcheck isn't bugged and activated when it shouldn't.
