要翻譯網站同時使用擴充功能的話要先用翻譯把整個網站都翻譯完,要一路拉到網頁最底下確定每個文字都翻譯好再開,就可以看到中文版的而且不會亂碼了(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))

I'm not sure what this extension does but it causes a lot of login and CORS issues. Looking at some of the other reviews it may be trying to make a profit doing random stuff in the bakckground. Given its access to all your info I'd avoid. The concept itself is very interesting though and was first promoted through Tim Ferris' blog or twitter post or something. However it's breaks a lot of login and may potentially be malware.
