I’m hoping their translation software ends up supporting Chinese/Japanese. Also come to Android please! Hopefully on Android in and out of reader mode.
I would dig this, I’d bet it’s in the works. Biggest question is when it’ll be released.
Is it local or cloud-based?
it’s local (see the addon that it was based on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/)
Local, that’s what’s so rad about it!
I wish they’d remove the US-only geo-restriction they have on half the autofill functionality.
Isn’t that due to stricter data collection/retention regulations in the EU?
I think it’s just because some things have country-specific formats. For example, if you want to prefill credit card details, you have to figure out how the credit card fields are labelled.
The feature is a privacy nightmare. I wish it was done locally.
Edit: it is

I think it is translated locally.
Oh that is pretty cool
It is done locally
Bio checks out.
At least they are self aware.
