Description Dorina Kovacs 2023-01-28 18:06:12 UTC
Dictionary search sends user's queries to dict.org. This is an obvious privacy issue. I suggest adding an option to use offline dictionaries, this being the default, even if a local dictionary is not installed. The user should be prompted to install one when trying to use it without one, the text also stating that online search can be used but warning about the privacy issue.
