The timing couldn’t be better. For me, the only thing missing from Firefox for Android (or, even better, Mull) was a translation feature; otherwise, it was perfect. The lack of translation was the only reason I found myself opening the Chrome app, and I am eagerly looking forward to no longer needing it.
I was once a fervent supporter of Google, but now see it moving towards Apple's approach. This shift doesn't feel like the result of malicious intent on the part of Google’s engineers, but rather a change driven by non-technical roles (business, marketing, ...) aiming to boost revenue margins. When these roles lead a company's direction, you can already hear the ticking clock of its fate.
Get "Translate Web Pages (TWP)" Addon for Firefox via custom addons collection! It does love translations of websites just like how the built in translator in chrome does!
Is that available on Firefox for Android? I'm not seeing it in the menu.
You have to create an add-on collection first and then it'll be available. (tutorial here)
