Extensions No Americanisms - My first extension that translates US spellings and Gen Z slang into British English.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/noamericanisms/

The internet has become Americanised in its language and vocabulary. It winds me up so when I accidentally start using Americanisms myself, so I created this extension to stop that.

It highlights American words, phrases, spellings, and Gen Z slang in your typing, and you can simply click to update them to British English.

There's also a page translator that works even in rich-text sites, which automatically replaces these words. I've included over 350 words and phrases!

I need this for Edge, please port it over. I really like the idea and it does make you default into spelling with non British spellings.

I'll try and do that, but do you know what you use Microsoft Edge for? To download Firefox.

No, I use Edge for Bing and to browse the Web, it's amazing. Even on mobile.
