Got it as figured it would translate what Google Translate fails to do at times. Couldn't get it to work at all and it spams me with a pop-up every time I try to highlight text to copy or try to type into a search bar. Tried to block the pop-up website in Chrome but for SOME REASON, they've removed the feature to block websites entirely. Uninstalled this exntension, still get the pop-up. Got another extension to block it, but it still pops up..... Reinstalled it to see if I could somehow block it from spamming me with a "pay to get AI translate" before I uninstall again. If not, I have no idea how to remove this super annoying pop-up!!
