User Reviews

Users generally praise RedditUntranslate for reliably removing Reddit's translation noise and for automatically stripping problematic parameters like ?tl=fr, which improves reading. They value the tool's effectiveness and the supportive, community-driven tips, with developers responding quickly. Main drawbacks are unclear setup instructions, the lack of an on-site disable option, and concerns about a version that broadens content blocking beyond Reddit.

Pros

Works flawlessly and effectively.
Automatically removes translation artifacts on Reddit (e.g., ?tl=fr) and reduces gibberish.
Improves Reddit readability by eliminating translation noise.
Helpful community tips and quick developer responses.

Cons

Activation guidance for the Google filter is unclear.
No on-site toggle to disable the translator.
Recent update appears to block content on pages beyond Reddit (scope change).

I would love, love, love to give this a 5 star review because this is an awesome idea to undo one of the worst "features" google has introduced over the years. Sadly, it doesn't work. I've tried the extension both in Helium and Firefox, but nothing. I've tried with regular google searches and with a custom Google Web view search. It doesn't work either way. I've been testing for some time and the only way to make the translated results disappear is by adding to every search -"?tl=", perhaps "-inurl:?tl=" isn't working anymore?

Hello, this is not working for me. Just '-inurl:?tl=' doesn't work for some reason. The only one who does work is: -inurl:tl= -inurl:translated If you could make one that uses it, it would work better, thanks

Is redditUntranslate 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.

redditUntranslate requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

redditUntranslate is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
