Still not trustworthy.

Works as advertised.

Gains trust

Changes app

Steals data

And I doubt that everybody always disables the internet connection while they use the app.

If you know how to use Dev Tools, then you can be sure.

Everytime you use the app?

That's the point of gaining trust.

I don't question your intentions, it's more a general trust problem with every app with internet connection.

Honest question: how are you monetizing? I don’t see a single ad on the website, but I have not tried to use it to edit any document. Are they being injected at the time of edit?
