Title of submission should be: 'Leaving spellcheck Enabled On Chrome Is a Privacy Risk'. In the spirit of trying to do constructive discussion, the original post references the long dead Signal Chrome app. The new desktop garbage they push is a Node.js app called Signal Desktop. They use native spellchecking provided by Node and Hunspell (even on Windows, which could use native windows API available for 8 and newer and which probably is privacy violating) To the best of my knowledge, Hunspell is privacy conscious software. EDIT: Additional context, https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-spellchecker also confirms it only uses Hunspell on windows.

It's a classic case of Apple abandoning macOS like they have for multiple releases now. ;P There are bugs for NSSpellChecker going back as far as 2009 regarding automatic language detection (they're, however, now annoying as piss to link to... because all the old mailing lists/archives have been seemingly nuked. Thanks, Cocoa community!). This in turn hits Electron apps, since they're just passing back to the native API anyway. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-spellchecker/i...
