gHacks is reporting that the included "advanced spellcheck" in the Chrome and Edge browsers is a privacy problem.
>> Once enabled, Chrome uses the same spell checker that Google Search uses. Google notes that text that users type after enabling the feature is sent to Google.
>> Similarly, when users enable Microsoft Editor in the Edge browser, they improve spell checking but have their typed data submitted to Microsoft as a consequence.
>>[that] the browser's were sending almost any typed data automatically after the enhanced spell checking features were enabled; this included usernames, email addresses, but also anything typed as comments or in forms. IF the "show password" option is clicked on any webpage, it is sent to M$/GooG.
These spellcheckers can become a security problem in several circumstances. The article tells how to disable.
