Scramble is an open-source Chrome extension that enhances your writing using AI, offering a customizable and privacy-respecting alternative to Grammarly. Users can highlight text, select 'Scramble' from the context menu, and choose various text enhancement options. The extension requires an OpenAI API key and future features include custom prompts and additional language model support.

Whenever we put words privacy and openai into one sentence, a thousand small kittens somewhere in the universe die …

So, the extension claims that it gives better privacy by Grammarly, but in the end, it counts on the business ToS between the API holder and OpenAI. A similar ToS, which I have between Grammarly and me, as a subscriber?
Granted, it could be a cheaper alternative (as OpenAI professional subscription is “pay once - use in many ways”), but please, let’s not fool ourselves that privacy is better.
