Privacy
Local processing reduces some exposure only when the page truly performs the operation in-browser and no extension, sync feature, analytics request, or pasted destination receives the data.
Limits
No tool can promise anonymity from one cleanup step; context, filenames, metadata, writing style, screenshots, and linked records can still identify someone.
