Unfortunately, the browser extension is proprietary. They used to have an open source one but they stopped maintaining it.
Proprietary was a dealbreaker for me. There is no way to verify that it isn't selling everything I type even if I do have it configured to point at a local server.
I'm also concerned that the extension may eventually no longer work against local servers as well.

As an alternative, there is harper by wordpress: https://github.com/Automattic/harper
It is webassembly and runs entirely in your browser.
EDIT:
I will add that the rest of the languagetool ecosystem continues to work fine. Libreoffice now has a built in client, which you can point at your own hosted server. VSCode [1] also has their own languagetool extension. I use those and those work great. But in the browser I use ~~harper~~ nothing. I should probably install harper.
[1] Well, technically I use [code-oss]https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Visual_Studio_Code), which gets the extension from https://open-vsx.org/
Harper is great, but it only does English. Really wish their "extensible core" was extended to other languages sometime.
Wish you could plug it to your own model, then it could support whatever.
Thanks for mentioning harper, hadn't heard of it until now.
Seconded Ive never tried anything else but harper works well for me.
