I used to use Android Chrome when overseas because auto translating of web pages is indispensable. It was a major concession for me, because I loath Google preventing ad blocking on Android Chrome. Still, it was less than perfect - constant popups asking you about the quality of the translation. The delay in sending it to Google wasn't noticeable when you had a good connection, but on the edge of mobile coverage it made web browsing even more miserable.
Then this came along. All those nits are gone. Personally I find the translations easier to understand than Google's. (When you're overseas easier to understand trumps grammaticality perfect every time.) I'm not a fan of the banner at the top - the could move it to a tool bar icon like Ublock Origin does, but apart from that - it's damned good.
Now we need a replacement for Google Lens. For all it's flaws, Lens seems near magical to me.
