Grammarly is essentially an opt-in keylogger for your browser. To put it generously, it is hilariously insecure by design. Furthermore, I don't believe that most of their users understand that the plugin "phones home" continuously to function.

Hey, at least the developers get to tinker with fun languages while spying on people!

While true, I believe the whole intent is to use machine learning on real text to improve the customer's experience. For the customer, this is a feature rather than the bug. It is not how I would prefer to interface with grammar checking, mind you, but I think they have been transparent.

How long before Google acquires Grammarly for the data?
