Current Behavior
Hi, I'm seeing a lot of requests by Albert to access the IP ….88. They happen very frequently (every few minutes).
I went there and see that this IP is apparently the "Albert web API". Yet I have no plugins that require internet usage or access in order to function.
Can you please add an option to stop Albert from accessing this IP address without informing us? I'd like to turn these requests off. I do think Albert is the best launcher for Linux, however, as a financial supporter of Albert, I do find this behaviour of trying to access an IP without telling us to be unacceptable.
I found these IP requests because I use OpenSnitch.
Thank you.
Expected Behavior
Albert should not be accessing any IP without letting us know, and should certainly let us turn this behaviour completely off. There should be no "phoning home", no matter what the reason, even at application startup, unless we explicitly enable it.
Anything else?
