Fast and secure translation on your local machine with a GUI
Interestingly, I think this is actually related to the offline translation features built into Firefox. Both are products of "Project Bergamot", but the Mozilla-maintained version was later merged into the Firefox application:
https://browser.mt/
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/local-translation-add-on...
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/training-efficient-neural-...
https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/t...
Extra webpage with screenshot and links, impossible to search for normally:
https://translatelocally.com/downloads/
Does one thing and does it well.
Oh— For downloading models, it's much easier to pipe/`xargs` `translateLocally --available-models` into `translateLocally -d` than go through the GUI.

Other self-hostable translation tools:
https://www.apertium.org/index.eng.html
- Traditional rule-based translation. Seems to work pretty well, but no good desktop frontend.
https://www.argosopentech.com/
- Works, but crashy desktop app.
https://libretranslate.com/
- API wrapping Argos Translate.
https://lingva.thedaviddelta.com/
- Google Translate scraper/privacy frontend.
https://euroglot.com/
- Proprietary, subscription trialware.

Firefox 118
It's possible with Neural Machine Translation models. Before being integrated into Firefox itself local translation was already available through the TranslateLocally add-on, see: https://browser.mt/

Linguist 5.0 - addon to translate and learn languages with respect to privacy
my understanding is this is using the same backend for the offline translator (aka Bergamot Project), it also supports online translation services (Google, DeepL, Bing, etc.)

Need to translate a 200 page book
Then you can run the OCR text through either a google, deepl, or one of the other commercial services to translate as a first pass. They all sell API access to the engines for bulk translation. Or you can use an open source engine like the new Bergamot Engine
-
Firefox Translations doesn't use the cloud
It is running a full transformer type neural network on your cpu, it needs all the speed it can get.
It’s because the translation engine requires at least SSSE3.1 instructions[1]. These are translated to wasm SIMD instructions[2] which are only enabled by browsers if the underlying hardware is there to execute these at least somewhat efficient.

Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
> But then you have to send your original comment to a translation company so there are privacy concerns there too.
There are modern offline translation systems available such as Project Bergamot https://browser.mt/

How do I remove this ugly annoying translation bar that pops up on various sites in FireFox? It doesn't show up in Chrome on the same site, and I have not installed any translation extensions as far as I know.
https://browser.mt/ ("Bergamot" was the technical name for the project.)

What do you believe Firefox is missing?
Already exists!

Skill for translating words/phrases?
But it'd also be a good idea to check out https://translatelocally.com/ which is a UI for https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator, used in Mozilla's offline MT browser extension. It's deep neural MT, but surpisingly undemanding (runs just fine on CPU's). Not yet in apt and such, but translatelocally at least has dpkg's and newest version should be usable from the CLI.

Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers
Consider Firefox translations, this is a completely offline machine translation extension based on this project.

Firefox 118
Right, but Firefox’s ETP blocks Statcounter’s JS (see https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protecti... which is where, I believe, Mozilla source their ETP blocklist from).

Question regarding portmaster's use of a depricated ad-list
Is there a particular reason portmaster uses the depricated and unofficial Disconnect.me Ad Domains (DM-AD) found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt rather than the official up-to-date list found at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json ?

?
You're wrong. People have noticed that they use Whiteops (now called HUMAN Security) browser fingerprinting.

I downloaded a supposed cryptocurrency miner on pc and I thought I deleted it but deep in my files there are folders called "sigma" the name of cryptocurrency miner and they also have a file called cryptomining.data
The lists are part of an open source project that can be found on Github.

Which Tracking list is Brave's Default tracker and content blocking list and how to find it?
Like Microsoft Edge has shared that they use Disconnect's list. Which list is being used by Brave?
- Is Firefox not always able to identify a tracker, or does tracker not include what i think it does?

John Oliver Blackmails Congress With Their Own Digital Data - The ‘Last Week Tonight’ host paid shady brokers for lawmakers’ digital histories — promising not to release the info so long as Congress passes legislation protecting all consumers’ data
However the ultimate proof that it’s effective is that advertisers use it: a quarter of the top 10,000 websites globally use fingerprinting (https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-quarter-of-the-alexa-top-10k-websites-are-using-browser-fingerprinting-scripts/) and basically every company you’ve heard of uses it: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/descriptions.md

Firefox focus blocks more trackers than DDG browser. 40 trackers vs 9. Any idea why DDG is less agressive?
Firefox Focus is based on the Mozilla/Firefox/Disconnect tracking block-lists. (https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection)
-
Is Edge's tracking protection same with firefox or even better in protecting user data?
Edge and Firefox use lists provided by Disconnect. I find it quite lacking. If you take a look at their GitHub, it's only occasionaly updated and there's a lot of ignored open issues.

Mozilla Explains: Cookies and supercookies
I see what you're saying. I don't expect that will have much, if any, effect. First, their block list is limited: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json
