Privacy issue #11

Closed francescor closed 4 years ago

francescor commented 4 years ago

addon is great, thanks: it is simple and working, really, perfect!

Only one pretty serious privacy issue:

I handle my passwords with a password store application: and, of course, I cut and paste passwords all day long: my password store show me

so I do, very often, cut and paste, in sequence, all these data :(

Now, of course, I do realize that with this extension, these data are read and used to find dictionary definitions, and this I think is pretty dangerous! I had to remove this addon, but I love it and want its functionality back.

how to solve? maybe by adding the option to have a word definition not just by selecting a word, but by using the right click on it once the word is selected (this would reduce useless traffic, too)

@francescor Your issue was the one that pushed me to just sit this weekend and finish all the issues, I added languages also and also option to save history of words, so in a way I should also be thanking you, thank you :)
