You are being tracked. Every click you make is being sent to billion-dollar corporations to build a profile of you to extract the maximum money from advertisers and potentially for AI scrapers.
You are the product.
At Word Weaver Pro, you can write without fear of your activity being sent to Google or other tech conglomerate to do with as they please.
Below is a report on how many trackers are watching what you are doing and report back analytics to some third-party. These are great products, but most are not focused on your privacy. Word Weaver Pro has zero trackers (as does Ellipsus, which is great!). Some have only one or two, and they are generally not full trackers, but font downloaders or CDN telemetry packages that are far less invasive.
No trackers is a disadvantage in marketing efforts, but for us, privacy is far more important.
The detection of privacy-violating trackers was done via Privacy Badger, which is a highly-recommended browser extension provided by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
