Et Tu, Grammarly?

Its frightening to see how many screenshares and recordings contain that green infestation as default on every website, not just the obvious visual disturbance (am i the only one who thinks the green is ugly and clashes with most websites colors?) that does not seem to bother users but the privacy and obvious attack vectors that come with it. Chrome can enable extensions only when needed why does no one do this? Why is this not the default on every browser?

Clarify?

I suppose they're concerned so many people are blindly installing Grammarly without a sandbox.

I'm concerned too, but from the angle that writing on the internet is becoming less human, more robot protocol. Even when it's from humans.

As if bots weren't enough of a problem, imagine when social media is just people clicking on buttons: "write a funny response", "write a comment in disagreement", "write 'same'", etc.

I count myself fairly lucky to have colleague that care about these sorts of things. We have had meeting halted because it was obvious that some participants had certain extensions installed, AI assistants of various types, and some colleagues aren't comfortable with information potentially being picked up by a third party. So the meeting is halted until the extension is disabled.

There are already extensions for this purpose.
