Firefox does not use Google Translate and performs the translation locally, which works great for the most common languages out there. For the less common ones you still have to go to Google Translate, but IME it's definitely not worth changing the browser to Chrome over.
- robertlagrant 11mo agoYeah I really like the Firefox translate. A rare win for recent Firefox.
- echelon 11mo agoDitching Chrome is something we need to teach everyone. The DOJ is totally spineless and refuses to squash Google's absurd monopoly on the internet. We are literally the last line of defense, even though we really don't amount to much. Perhaps we could start a grassroots movement.
- IgorPartola 11mo agoYou don’t need a grassroots movement when other movements doing this exact thing already exist. In fact it is likely counterproductive. Mozilla Foundation is the organization you want to support, or EFF.
- echelon 11mo ago> Mozilla Foundation is the organization you want to support Mozilla Foundation is rudderless. I'm convinced the leadership are all Google plants who are keeping the "antitrust litigation sponge" from doing anything damaging to Chrome.
- RugnirViking 11mo agoI don't really like firefox translate, despite having made the switch many years ago. For a long time it didnt have the (european) language of the country I live in. Now it does have it. Every time I want it to translate I have to manually find both languages in the insanely long dropdowns. It will not save it the way I want it, but impressively seems to manage to always save it in the other direction...
