Google Chrome and US spelling

Topic.
Currently using Google Chrome browser on Dad's Laptop, and the US spelling is doing my head in, is there an extension or plugin I can download for UK spellings? I know there is for Mozilla Firefox.

There's a language section somewhere in the settings. I don't know where it is exactly as they keep changing things around after each version comes out.  Roll_eyes
That's RPM to you!!

It's under Settings (three vertical lines top right) then Advanced Settings then Language and Input settings.  My Chrome broswer defaults to UK spelling; are you sure your entire computer does not think it is in the US?

My Chrome was in set to real English to.
However... I noticed they had changed the adverts, so when they are blocked by adblock, you now get a massive white bar across the top of the screen, with tiny letters in the corner saying it's a blocked advert.. AND there are now little pop up voucher adverts.. so I deleted chrome earlier, installed Firefox, and and it has all gone!
Adverts, adverts, adverts everywhere mister Google... but not a tax payment to be seen!
