## Description

<strong>Automatically escape the translation wrapper and get back to the original source.</strong>

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

Key Features:
<ul><li><strong>Instant Redirection:</strong> Automatically escapes the Google Translate "frame" to restore the original website experience.</li><li><strong>URL Cleaning:</strong> Strips away Google Translate-specific query parameters (like <code>_x_tr_sl</code>, <code>_x_tr_tl</code>, etc.) for a clean destination link.</li><li><strong>Simple Control:</strong> Use the popup menu to quickly toggle the redirection on or off whenever needed.</li><li><strong>Lightweight &amp; Fast:</strong> Built with performance in mind using modern extension APIs.</li></ul>
Privacy &amp; Transparency:
<ul><li><strong>Open Source:</strong> This project is transparent and open source. You can review the code, contribute, or report issues on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/8e3e531deca1d01da5123e8d6641d95aaef4d35e8541f8fcf068bcc9af78205c/https%3A//github.com/pascaruchan/avoid-google-translate" rel="nofollow">GitHub</a>.</li><li><strong>No Data Collection:</strong> This extension does not track your browsing history, collect personal data, or communicate with external servers.</li><li><strong>Permission Transparency:</strong> Uses standard web request permissions solely to perform the redirection locally on your browser.</li></ul>

<strong>How it works:</strong>
When you click a link that leads to a translated version of a site (e.g., <code>example-com.translate.goog</code>), the extension extracts the original domain (<code><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2141eac2eacda036b00afc30fd0a7e6f24e9bddf402cf4393fe5144f468147e8/http%3A//example.com" rel="nofollow">example.com</a></code>), 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.
