FWIW-- I have never used either of those extensions (or products), but at least Grammarly (based on this alone) is truly awful. I think they're still violating user privacy, here's the excerpt from the bottom of the extension page from Grammarly: > Additionally, we collect payment information if you choose to use our Premium services, and we automatically collect technical information, including log data and usage information, for legitimate business interests, such as improving our product and providing customer support. You can bet that means they're building a credit profile of people and likely selling the information. > We may share any of the information that we collect through the add-on with our third-party service providers in order to provide you with services, as required by law, to protect our rights or the rights of others, with your consent, or as otherwise legally permitted. I'd really like to call out the "or as otherwise legally permitted at the end" which means essentially says that the previous list of things is a bullshit hand-picked subset of the set "legally permitted to perform." When I change it to: > We may share any of the information that we collect through the add-on with our third-party service providers as legally permitted. It all feels a bit different; which is to say, unless the law says its explicitly illegal for us to share information we collect, we can and will share it. For something that literally monitors everything you write/think, your payment information (probably invoices/site/etc), and then shares it with anyone the fucking please... I'm gonna say that's a big "terrible for security" from me, dawg. Where I live it's illegal to walk around with a beer/booze in public. But whenever I want to drink a beer in public, I just walk around with it like any other drink. My behavior looks so normal, people just assume it's not a beer, helping me out even more is the fact is "it's illegal" so people's good intentions/will further push the idea out of mind "I don't want to think they're breaking the law, they don't look like they would." I would say after reading what's literally on the page and thinking about it: the Grammarly extension authors are pretty proudly walking around with a beer right now... Mozilla being like the friend who invites someone to your home to help tighten up some loose wobblywomps on the porch; but that person then drinks your beer, drinks their beer, goes through your fridge eats what they want, starts making their own batch of beer at your house, and then finally partially adjusts your wobblywomps. Departing, the drunken fat stranger looks to you and says "it was great doing business with you and I be back everyday this week to tighten your wobblywomps."
