I’m looking for a privacy-focused code editor that can handle HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I am just learning how to code, so I need something that works for beginners as well as respecting my privacy. I have looked around, but I don’t know which one is the best option.

    WTF is a “privacy-focused code editor?” They’re just glorified text editors! They run locally! They don’t connect to the Internet at all! How would they be anything other than “privacy-focused” by default? Why is this even a question?!

    I fucking hate this timeline.


    Anyway, to answer your question: emacs, obviously. Or vim if you’re evil, I suppose. Or just whatever the Hell you want, because if your editor even has “terms of service” or a “privacy policy” of any kind something has already gone horribly wrong.

      This is one of the few types of software where it would probably make more sense to just list the few that are not “privacy-focused”.

      I fucking hate this timeline.

      my first thought as well…how did we get to the point that this is a valid topic? (not a comment about you OP, just the state of the world)
