Maybe I'm missing something - but it only OCR's things you choose to capture and isn't constantly trying to OCR every single thing you see.

Are you misunderstanding the extension or am I missing something bigger?

E: A total guess: "the server will see the image you are trying to OCR"? That's about as much privacy as I could see being intruded upon.

It could easily build a profile of everything you get scanned/translated. I don't know if it uses https, so maybe it encrypts, maybe everyone listening can see what you get scanned.

It is good that it isn't scanning everything, i.e. complete exfiltration, but that is a low bar. It leaks every time you use it.
