I like how they mention Internet Explorer.

As a user of Seamonkey - which you'd know as Mozilla, the app that Mozilla the company ditched for being 'too hard' - I have to say no. While I trust they're not as evil as Google, I don't trust them to do the hard part of actual software maintenance.

I'm trying to make the switch to Firefox, but I'm running into some issues. The main one being, I travel internationally a lot for work and rely heavily on chrome automatically translating every web page I visit. Is there a way to have this on both my desktop and mobile (android)? When I look at the available extensions there are like 15 available... Thankfully one of them is uBlock Origin

Firefox does now have built-in page translation that runs offline. While it's not the best one out there it only needs to connect to the internet once to download the translation data.
