    Their extension isn’t open source anymore, see here, so I don’t recommend it personally, especially with how sensitive the data it collects is, its basically a keylogger, so trust is super important imo.

        While I appreciate the sentiment, isn’t that effectively the same as “if the restaurant won’t give you the complete recipe for their pizza sauce, how do you know they’re not trying to poison you?”

        Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

          At least restaurants are subjected to health and safety inspection. Software never have, and right now opening their code is the only way to ensure that.

          Except a restaurant is not asking to log every word of yours in exchange for pizza.

      Thanks for pointing out! This tool seems to look and work awesome, but non-foss browser extension is an instant ‘NO’…
