Questions

Will it remove real dialogue in brackets?

Anything in [square] or (round) brackets is removed, which is nearly always a sound description. Check the preview before downloading.

Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser reads and fixes the file on your own computer. Nothing is sent to a server, so private files are fine, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
