Vivaldiで使用しており、使い始めた直後にとても良いと感じました。 Vivaldiのデフォルト翻訳は変な結果になることが多々あり、またChromiumベースであるため公式のGoogle翻訳拡張が反応せず、わざわざDeepLに課金して拡張機能を使用していました。 ただDeepLの翻訳も、何気に月額料金が高く、翻訳してほしくないコード部分まで変に翻訳されてしまったりと、満足ではなかったのですが、こちらの拡張機能であれば品質もそれなりに良く、コード部分はそのままで、また選択部分だけポップアップで翻訳できる機能もあり、メジャーな翻訳拡張の良いとこ取りをしてくれていると感じました。 カスタマイズ性も高いようで、設定を弄ればGoogle翻訳以外のプロバイダにもアクセスできそうでした。

It says we can "use popular services like Google, Yandex, DeepL, Reverso, Bing" but in the Options, Translator module it only offers Google, Yandex, and Bergamot offline. We're able to add custom translators so maybe that's what they meant but that involves code and I can't be bothered to learn that. I specifically wanted Bing to translate Cantonese because I find it more accurate. Which brings me to the next problem... There's no Cantonese translation. It's not in the list of languages. There's only "Chinese" which is Mandarin. Google Translate has Cantonese now so I don't know why it's not in the list. Also text to speech doesn't work in the toolbar button window for the source language. It only works for the target language. This extension doesn't have anything of what I needed so it must go bye bye.
