@firefoxwebdevs I also like the idea of having all such features as extensions rather than built in features, so they can be explicitly turned on by people who want to.

Would really make the product clearly stand out from others

@zzt @firefoxwebdevs there are plenty of users who want to translate stuff in browsers, I am one. To me it seems super reasonable for a product rendering content to also offer translation of it.

fyi you're coming across as very cynical (and I say that as someone who's pretty cynical towards AI hype and the current tech industry myself… I *get* it…)

@firefoxwebdevs as a user, I like and use translation. Having one app render and translate content makes sense to me.

I like how you do it (incl on-device, on-demand and privacy-preserving, and open data (assuming it means not copyrighted?)).

Because of both, it is clearly different from other “AI” to me, even if it technically would use language models that are large, and this poll makes sense to me.

It's tricky, I voted, but wasn't super sure. I think granular controls would be great.
