I'm ready to deactivate it if it comes with any active component.

It says pretty explicitly that it only runs on the user's machine.

Not sure where you are confused. If any part of this feature is active by default I will disable it.

limelight79 @lemm.ee The way you wrote this, I thought you meant that if it required a cloud service you would turn it off. But now I think you're just saying you wouldn't use this feature.
I share the confusion over your definition of "active". You got all defensive when someone asked, so now no one really knows what you meant.
