Querying a local dictionary on each clipboard seems okay; having a feature to request remote dictionaries is okay; making it easy to combine both is dubious but understandable (would be better off as a special flag); but having them combined by default? That's pretty much malicious.

It's talking about querying youdao, which is more translation service. Offline translation < online translation, i.e. I don't want to fallback to local google offline translate language package unless I have no data. I don't use stardict, but it should be completely expected functionality if translating more than words like dictionary.

This entire article should be, Chinese translation program sends clipboard data to it's own website and chinese translation services, but on http.
