User Reviews

Users generally find the add-on simple, easy to use, and effective for basic translation. Major recurring problems are that it redirects to the Google Translate website (often defaulting to Chinese) and that it interferes with Cloudflare verification—causing infinite-loop errors and blocking access to Cloudflare-protected sites.
Pros
  • Simple and effective — performs basic translation tasks reliably
  • Easy to use and handy for quick translations
  • Lightweight/no-frills extension — does the job without extra features
Cons
  • Breaks or blocks Cloudflare verification (reports of infinite-loop checks and prevented access to Cloudflare-protected sites)
  • Redirects users to the Google Translate web page in Chinese and cannot be changed
  • Opens the external Google Translate page instead of providing inline translation within the extension

Is Google Translate Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Google Translate requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Google Translate may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
