    I never liked grammarly. It feels like spam.

      It's a keylogger.

          Only within the web page that&#x27;s running it. Grammarly is often installed to the system and slurps up whatever it can, even when you haven&#x27;t explicitly told it to. I think this was the article that illustrated its untrustworthiness: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30470457">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30470457
