Spell checkers leaking personal data

Otto-js Research Team found that Chrome's enhanced spellcheck & Edge's MS Editor are sending data entered into form fields like username, email, DOB, SSN, basically anything in these fields, from these browsers when this feature is enabled.

Furthermore, if you click on "show password," the enhanced spellcheckers even send your password, essentially Spell-Jacking your data.

Of 30 websites tested, 96.7% sent data with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to Google or Microsoft. 73% sent passwords when "show password" was clicked; the ones that didn't reveal the password just didn't have a "show password" option.
