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.

There is an alternate frontend to Google Translate though. It's called Lingva Translate.

It has also got the voice over thingy.

For androids, Lingva has a FOSS app, called Lentil Translate (I believe it's not official), which you can easily find on F-Droid. Personally, the translations in the app seem a bit slow and buggy to me, but it works like a charm in the browser.
