Now that Firefox is getting in-page translation capability, Chrome does not offer any features I am missing anymore. As long as they don't start performance wars, like the shit that happened with Youtube a while ago, I'll be fine

Wait really? Is it on the stable version or do I need to install beta/nightly?

You can read up on it here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/

That's fantastic if the quality is good. I only use chrome now for pages purely in Japanese that I need to deal with and can't properly read in full yet (which, living in Japan, is a fair few, heh). EDIT: Bah, no Japanese support. Oh well; some day.

Thanks, didn't realize it's an add-on. Much better because now I can use it on Librewolf. :D

you can also set browser.translations.enable to true in about:config for full-page translations. it's kinda slow and the languages are limited compared to google translate, but other than that it's fine. also, it works offline if you install the languages https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation

Offline translation, nice. I'm gonna miss Opera GX stylish theme but I'm ready to ditch Chromium-based browser again, at least on desktop :D

Edit: I'be checked the add-on, unfortunately my mother language and other popular languages are not supported yet.
