use TLS enabled dictionary service. if there is none, you dont want this feature. at all. make sure they click through something or explicitly enable is even hard as you cannot assume a user understands the impact. they might not understand what it means to send their data over plaintext, or what someone can do with it.

I don't want this feature with TLS either. Sometimes I copy passwords from my password manager to paste into the intended app. I don't want everything that enters my clipboard sent to a third party.

Does this service exist?

Does it matter?

Will the existence or lack thereof excuse the absolute lack of security and privacy this package exhibits? And the lack of interest from the developer?

Yes it matters. Something that doesn't exist cannot be used. Any other insightful comment you wish to make?

Don't be dense.

At least try to keep up with the main concern: "sending potentially private or security impacting information in plaintext across the internet".

"Does not exist blah blah"

That has to be one of the most inane replies I've read in a while.
