Cool stuff, never heard of grug brain before.

On your GitHub repo your readme says on privacy:

> Your API key is stored locally in your browser and never shared. Text content is only sent to Google's Gemini API for translation. No user data is tracked or stored by this extension.

If I understand correctly, your extension simply sends all text directly to Gemini w/o any privacy layer in between that would redact user data? With that Gemini probably learns way more on you that one would want. E.g. using the extension while being logged in to your online banking might lead to Gemini getting information on your financial situation. Or am I missing something?
