I wonder about the connection between LibreOffice and Google?
Can you explain this a little more, as I do not want to use software with a connection to Google for reasons of privacy and data protection!

@Ulli It has nothing to do with privacy or data protection. Absolutely nothing is shared with Google (or anyone else). The code is written by independent, free and open source software (FOSS) developers who work through the summer on LibreOffice. To help them to spend the time working on FOSS they get some financial help from Google. That's it!

The connection to Google will kill you in the long run. People who use your software wants to get away from those fuckers. Why do all run in the same trap? Stupid af.
