Chrome Web Store - Extensions
This looks like a pretty good Chrome Extension for Language Translation. Has a nice UX where you double-click/select a piece of text and press the button that appears. Done.
Gonna give this a try whenever I need selected pieces of text translated, like Twts ๐

@prologic sincere question, what do you find in Chromeโother that bunch of extensions that I too thought couldn't live without just to realised I never used themโthat Safari doesn't have? I used to be a diehard Chrome user too, till one day decided to exclusively use Safari for a month. Never came back.
@david I don't like the UX of Safari on Desktop ๐

@prologic well, that leaves no space for further discussion. I tell my wife the same about food when she cooks: no matter how delicious the meal might be, if it doesn't pass the "eyes test" it is going to be hard to even try it. It happens with everything. I mean, often we pursue the good looking person, to later find it shallow, but we sure enjoy the good looking stage for bit! ๐
@homer To be fair, you're right. I _actually_ have never bothered to give it a proper go.
My history of Web Browsers has been:
- Netscape Communicator
- Internet Explorer
- Firefox
- Google Chrome
So far ๐

@prologic @david The UI wouldn't be much of a problem for me, ugly UI is what Mozilla is for, along with shilling HTTPS over DNS garbage, no one asked for.
Though there seem to be forks like WaterFox, that don't have any of these problems and might be worth a try.
As for Safari, it used to lack support for a lot of things and even if it no longer lacks that, it still lacks the support for my favorite video codec AV1, it doesn't even support video OGG and support of Googles video codecs were only added recently to desktop Safari and is still lacking from the iOS version.
One has to wonder, if Apple does it because of their incompetence, or because they own some patents in the patent pools of the inferior h.264 and h.265 codecs.
@thecanine I am OK with Safari not supporting every single thing out there. I see nothing that uses AV1, nor OGG. I have no need for "lesser" codecs.
In a more serious note, Apple doesn't implement codecs in the browser; when they implement a new format it happens at the operating system level, not the browser. That is, Safari doesn't decode images/videos, but macOS, iOS, iPadOS do. We might see those codecs sometime later this year, maybe next year. Truly, I don't care: all my media plays just fine and dandy, thank you very much!
