Sorry, reading more I realize that Google is already out of the loop. Apparently the default URI used is a server compatible with Googie API : service.afterthedeadline.com I'm still not sure that's good from a privacy point of vue. Obviously, they claim it's safe : https://automattic.com/privacy/ or is it http://spell.roundcube.net ? I'm confused! FWIW the default roundcube spellcheck server is offline and upstream considers disabling spellchecking by default: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/8182 People who want a privacy friendly spellcheck can configure rc to pspell (using the PHP spell API, which uses aspell) or enchant. Roundcube 1.5.0 disabled the spell checker by default. > We also disabled the spell checking feature using spell.roundcube.net by default because some privacy concerns were raised. It now needs to be enabled explicitly by setting the enable_spellcheck config option to true. https://roundcube.net/news/2021/10/18/roundcube-1.5.0-released Since Roundcube 1.5.0 disables the spell checker by default, I believe this issue is no longer. |
