Is your Mac suddenly extremely slow when typing? Check LanguageTool before buying a new Mac.
My iMac had become incredibly slow when I was typing in Safari, ChatGPT, WordPress and web forms. Letters sometimes appeared several seconds after I typed them.
I eventually thought my iMac was simply getting too old and was seriously considering buying a new Mac.
Then I removed LanguageTool.
The difference was immediate. My iMac was fast again, and I could type normally without any delay.
I had no idea that LanguageTool could cause this kind of problem, so I never thought of looking for the cause there. I was searching for solutions to a “slow Mac”, “slow Safari” and “slow ChatGPT”.
If your Mac has suddenly become extremely slow when typing in websites, check whether LanguageTool or its browser extension is running before assuming that your Mac is too old.
This is my personal experience, but I am sharing it because I suspect many users would never think to look at LanguageTool as the cause.
