How to disable Google Chrome spell checking on Mac OS X
If you are using Chrome Beta:
1. Quit Chrome
2. Edit ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences
3. Add an entry that says:
"spellcheck": { "dictionary": "" }
4. Restart Chrome
When you add the entry at the end of the file, make sure to add a "," at the end of the previous entry. The result should look something like this:
... "webkit": { "webprefs": { "inspector_settings": "lastActivePanel:string:scripts\n" } }, "spellcheck": { "dictionary": "" } }
If you are using Chromium, the file is ~/Library/Application\ Support/Chromium/Default/Preferences.

This does not persist if cache, etc are cleared on exiting Google Chrome. |

Your instructions are a little off. There's ALREADY a line that says "dictionary": "en-US" so you just change that to "dictionary": "" instead of adding all that at the end. The first few times I tried this, it didn't work, then I realized what was wrong. |

Apparently this is changing with new versions of Chrome, so please be careful and keep backups of the Preferences file. The setting will probably eventually be in the GUI settings dialog. |

Thanks a lot. What's up with googles lack of Mac support? |
