[–] goodness 16y ago ↗ Cool. There was just a post the other day on that Polyglot Chrome extension with a similar goal. That one is at:https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/plpjkjplknknmhfh...The polyglot just auto-translates some of the words on the page. Might be a feature worth adding here too.
[–] joshd 16y ago ↗ That video is painful to watch. [–] nfnaaron 16y ago ↗ Impatience was my reaction. It's actually not too bad, it was just twice as long as it needed to be; probably too much adlibbing.

[–] [dead] BearOfNH 16y ago ↗ Has anybody been able to use the extension as described in the video? When I click on the install link I get taken to a blank page.I use NoScript, but specifically allowed the site(s), and even tried enabling scripts globally, to no avail. Same thing after a FF restart.FF3.6 under WinXP SP3.
[–] brazzy 16y ago ↗ Too much rambling, not enough concrete info on the front page. And I hate video product introductions. Show me a screenshot or two instead, please.
