      How would the DDG implementation be less than a privacy concern? It’s just adding a middle layer. It may only lump queries together in a larger pool of seemingly undistinguishable users. Am I missing anything else?

        They made a deal with the AI providers to not use the data for model training and it has some open-source models now too (though idk what providers do they use).

        It violates privacy and sometimes copyright of the user whose content you’re trying to translate. And you can just press it accidentally.
