As above - How? 

The advice seems to be to use the native spell checker in one's editor. I've tried several different browsers and all refuse to work in Atto. 

Does anybody have this working?

UPDATE:

Working fine in Safari. Unable to make it work in Chrome or Firefox

I've found in the past that the browser must have the dictionary/language installed corresponding to the language the page specifies, e.g. with sites in en-US my en-GB Firefox wouldn't check spelling on Microsoft Windows.

Atto works for me with Firefox 76.0 on Fedora 30:

And Chrome 88.0.4324.182:

(This did mean I ran into a Fedora bug: Firefox defaults to English (Malawi) which is a bit odd).
