Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

I've been mainly using firefox on Windows for ages now, but switched my phone today. I'll still need them because Japanese is a hard language and I need my Google Translate sometimes, but all other things go through FF now.

Eh? What is about accessing Google Translate via Firefox that you dislike? I've been using (sparingly) Google Translate via Librewolf (a fork of Firefox) and I haven't experienced no problems with it.

Or are you talking about the Google Translate mobile app? I wish there's a good alternative to it too.

If there's a way to get google translate (or deepL or something; I'm not picky) in firefox, I don't know about it. There might be a plug-in or something, but Chrome has it out-of-the-box whereas firefox has no such option.

I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/traduzir-paginas-web and it's good enough for me. I usually just disable all of it's translate button except the right click menu ones since I tarely need it but it has options like autotranslating specific websites and more.
