Trae IDE, developed by ByteDance, has faced criticism for performance issues and persistent data transmission despite users disabling telemetry. The recent update reduced resource usage, but concerns over privacy violations and aggressive moderation remain. #ByteDance #TraeIDE
Keypoints
- Trae IDE exhibits high resource consumption, launching 33 processes and using 5.7 GB memory initially.
- The developers released an update that reduced processes to 13 and memory usage to 2.5 GB.
- Telemetry continues to be transmitted even when disabled, with frequent data uploads and server connections.
- Disabling telemetry appears ineffective, and logs are still generated and sent actively during usage.
- Discussions about data collection are met with censorship, as mentioning “tracking” leads to user silencing on Discord.
