I use Firefox but there are web apps that just plain do not test on it. Office 365 is one of those and Word is basically non functional...more than normal.

I haven't been using chrome ever since they remove AdNauseam from the web store with no justifiable reason.

They just took it off and kept it that way because there wasn't sufficient backlash.

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

FF doesn't do that I think. There are addons that u can use for it though.

for anyone wondering, there's already a manifest v3 version of ublock origin available from the same developer.
