Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

  Good news about page translation, Firefox is adding it, and it’s all done locally too, no phoning home to their or somebody else’s translation servers.

  I wonder if there’s an extension for Chromecast support? Might be worth looking into

    Till then there is this open source extension which provides the same functionality including local offline translation

    Sadly, no, there is no chromecast extension (which I am aware of).

      Actually there is one, but it’s not very good if I’m being honest ( but workable).

      I’m kind of surprised that no open source project of renown has ever decided to implement that on Firefox well.

        There is? What’s it called?

  For translation you use this. Since you can use Google translation service as the backend(?), it works as good as Google translate atleast in my experience

    Thanks a lot, this extension looks very much as what I need. I wish Apple stopped their WebKit policy on iPhone so I could use it on mobile Firefox too…

  For the time being I’m using TWP for translation. Seems to work flawlessly

  I’m using 2 extensions from the Firefox store, Simple Translate and Translate This Page. If one goes down, I use the other. Sometimes I use translate.yandex.ru as well.

  I think libretranslate has a extension but I could be wrong

  only two things I will miss are chromecast and page translation.

  You can use your phone to start the chromecasting, and translate.google.com lets you also put in a weblink to translate a whole page at once.
