Avoid Google Translate

By: Pascaru
Automatically redirects Google Translate pages to their original URLs.

Features & Capabilities

Automatically escape the translation wrapper and get back to the original source.

Tired of search results or shared links trapping you inside the Google Translate interface? Avoid Google Translate instantly detects when you are viewing a page via translate.goog and redirects you to the original, untranslated URL.

Key Features:

  • Instant Redirection: Automatically escapes the Google Translate "frame" to restore the original website experience.
  • URL Cleaning: Strips away Google Translate-specific query parameters (like _x_tr_sl, _x_tr_tl, etc.) for a clean destination link.
  • Simple Control: Use the popup menu to quickly toggle the redirection on or off whenever needed.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Built with performance in mind using modern extension APIs.
Privacy & Transparency:
  • Open Source: This project is transparent and open source. You can review the code, contribute, or report issues on GitHub.
  • No Data Collection: This extension does not track your browsing history, collect personal data, or communicate with external servers.
  • Permission Transparency: Uses standard web request permissions solely to perform the redirection locally on your browser.

How it works: When you click a link that leads to a translated version of a site (e.g., example-com.translate.goog), the extension extracts the original domain (example.com), cleans the path, and moves you there immediately. Perfect for users who prefer their browser's native translation tools or want to view the source content directly.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
