We carry out a high-precision Monte Carlo study of the shortest-path fractal dimension $\dm$ for percolation in two and three dimensions, using the Leath-Alexandrowicz method which grows a cluster from an active seed site. A variety of quantities are sampled as a function of the chemical distance, including the number of activated sites, a measure of the radius, and the survival probability. By finite-size scaling, we determine $\dm = 1.130 77(2)$ and $1.375 6(6)$ in two and three dimensions, respectively. The result in 2D rules out the recently conjectured value $\dm=217/192$ [Phys. Rev. E 82, 020102(R) (2010)].
