by sdozachary, 2 years agoVery excellent plugin. I wonder if it would be possible to add hover icons to Android Firefox, AND it would make it easier to use!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19266537, 2 months agoread aloud works (and way too loud), but volume control has zero effect; only when slid to the extreme left does the volume mute (to zero).
Review added 2026-01-30 for Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS ; snap info firefox = 147.0.2-1 latest/stable - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19710402, 2 months agoRouting you to the the Google TTS sales page and using the Demo box instead of hooking into the Google Cloud API is actually bananas. I can't believe that this thing still doesn't have proper voice fetching implementation after all these years.
- Rated 1 out of 5by RescuePaws, 2 months agoNot the best. Agree with other users that Edge is better for reading than this. Also I don't like that it automatically sets your setting to allow this developer access to ALL your data unless you change it but even then it piggies back off of google.translate. Also doesn't even read my full text book page just the title and then the page number. I don't like the reading in the extra window either. Idk why its a recommended extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Joshua Weiss, 3 months agoAppears to use translate.google.com to provide the service, and the new one on me is that extensions apparently can't block other extensions' requests, since umatrix, ublock, etc can be set to block google, and Rethink still shows FF making attempts. So, it basically reports your browsing to Google...that makes it intentionally spyware in my book. FF's own builtin "Read Aloud" will have to suffice atm.
