Bug ID: 464954
Summary: dictionary search talks to third-party server without
the user's consent
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: dictionary
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: princessdorinakov...@gmail.com
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: ---
Dictionary search sends user's queries to dict.org. This is an obvious privacy
issue. I suggest adding an option to use offline dictionaries, this being the
default, even if a local dictionary is not installed. The user should be
prompted to install one when trying to use it without one, the text also
stating that online search can be used but warning about the privacy issue.
