How can I spell-check any text shown on google-chrome?

Is there a way to have google-chrome (or Firefox) to spell-check the text that is shown on the browser page (not just any text fields, but any text on the page)?
Is that possible by default? Or do I have to install an extension? If so, which extension?

I don't know of any way to do this, other than to select and copy the whole page, then paste into a new HTML document in MS Word or LibreOffice Write or equivalent software with its own spell/grammar-checker.

@AFH: For some reasons I am not able to just copy the 'page source'. The actual text is not copied with it. The non-public webpage contains two iframes with embedded jupyter notebook.
