Well Firefox recently integrated a full webpage translation, fully done local on your system. It works pretty well in my experience.

What a wonderful statement.

I don’t know the exact process, but I think its still based on the original, with the changes and additions on top of it. So it depends on the FreeTube team to keep up. I imagine its similar how the Firefox forks work, that still depend on the original Firefox.

How is that a paradox? It’s like saying its a paradox that cameras on phone made it much easier to photograph and as a result, people make more photos. That isn’t a paradox, that is natural. Same for writing software.
