I wonder if the addition of spaces is done client side or server side (and as such would send all your website texts to them)?

The source code in the Firefox extension suggests it's all done server-side.

Especially the paragraphs beginning "In order to provide" and "When you visit". There's a lot of data being collected.

Might be a placebo-like effect for me, I'd have to have a really good setup to experiment with whether or not it helps or is really noticeable without knowing beforehand if it's been applied or not (or applied randomly instead).

This looks wrong. The extra gaps look like pauses and they're not in sensible places for pauses. That then made me think of someone doing a Christopher Walken impression.

We've removed some irrelevant boilerplate from the Privacy Policy, and updated the FAQ. We collect as little as possible, though we completely respect anyone's privacy concerns and decisions. We welcome feedback since this is a critical part of building our users' trust.

Yes, the processing is performed by our server-side language models, and is never stored.

It's interesting, but I find peculiar the choice of the words which are overspaced. I would expect works like 'that', 'from', 'with' far more important for chunking than 'to' for instance.

Those extra spaces feel like I'm walking upstairs and I suddenly miss a step. Completely throws me Knocks me out of the rhythm every time.

Although I spent some time as an editor, so that's probably it.
