Privacy concerns for editor mode backends

Open krillin666 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello Theodore,

It is a wonderful feature you've included additional editor mode options for the Append Editor. However, specially in the case of the Monaco editor, since it is developed by Microsoft I have some privacy concerns. Is it in any way possible that when using the Monaco editor I will be exposing my notes (or metadata) to Microsoft in any way ? I don't have access to my PC right now so I can't check out the Network connection in the developers option, so if you would be kind enough of elucidating me on this point I would appreciate !

Thank you !

This is a very legit and concerning question given Microsoft's history in doing such things with their "open-source projects" like VSCode (See here and here.) and coreclr.

And I wonder if you got the chance to test it yourself after getting back to your PC @krillin666.
