⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid absolute privacy claims when cloud providers are supported.

These lines state that all processing is local and 100% of data stays on-device, but the same FAQ also documents cloud providers (OpenAI/OpenRouter/Groq). This can mislead users about data flow and privacy guarantees.

Suggested wording adjustment
-**Privacy-first**: All processing happens locally on your machine. Use local models with Ollama for complete offline operation — 100% data stays on your device.
+**Privacy-first**: Browser Operator runs locally and supports privacy-sensitive workflows. For fully local processing and on-device data handling, use LiteLLM + Ollama in offline mode.

-Yes. Configure LiteLLM with Ollama to run completely offline with local models. All data remains on your machine — perfect for privacy-sensitive work.
+Yes. Configure LiteLLM with Ollama to run completely offline with local models. In this setup, data stays on your machine.
