    Doing same thing right now… only two things I will miss are chromecast and page translation.

      Good news about page translation, Firefox is adding it, and it’s all done locally too, no phoning home to their or somebody else’s translation servers.

      I wonder if there’s an extension for Chromecast support? Might be worth looking into

        Till then there is this open source extension which provides the same functionality including local offline translation

        Sadly, no, there is no chromecast extension (which I am aware of).

          Actually there is one, but it’s not very good if I’m being honest ( but workable).

          I’m kind of surprised that no open source project of renown has ever decided to implement that on Firefox well.

              Just search for it from within Firefox, from the mods tab. That’s how I found it the first time.

                  Don’t know what to say, that’s how I found it.

                  I’ll try to remember the next time I am in front of my computer to look it up and post here.

      For translation you can use this. Since you can use Google translation service as the backend(?), it works as good as Google translate atleast in my experience

        Thanks a lot, this extension looks very much as what I need. I wish Apple stopped their WebKit policy on iPhone so I could use it on mobile Firefox too…

      only two things I will miss are chromecast and page translation.

      You can use your phone to start the chromecasting, and translate.google.com lets you also put in a weblink to translate a whole page at once.
