    Has this been achieved by integrating the translation add on funded by the EU and some British universities?

    If so then good to see taxes being well spent for a change!

      As in, on Linux only? You can now use background blur in Google meet on Firefox in Linux. Not sure if that’s Linux specific but as I don’t use anything else it’s awesome for me.

    I thought I could uninstall the addon now that the translation is integrated. Is not so? I don’t know how to make the translation happen now.

      I see now a translate button in the sandwitch menu. But I find weird that after the address bar icon appears I see an option to ask for translation always, but I don’t know what it means by always since I couldn’t make it appear on its own.

        Oh, I see it now in the sandwich menu. That’s really confusing since the first thing they introduce you to is the icon in the address bar. I had assumed it would appear up there automatically.

    I hope someone here has a suggestion/solution.

    I’ve been having this issue with DuckDuckGo and Firefox, for the past few days now, where if I search using the search bar, it shows an error which says “the page isn’t redirecting properly.” This happens only when using this search engine. For every other search engine, e.g. Google, Bing, etc there are no issues.

    I’ve tried clearing cache, temporarily disabled all cookies, but still no luck.

    Any suggestion /solution please?

      Have you tried using the DDG search URL manually? I mean as in the exact URL it calls when you use the search engine?

        Hiya, yes, I did that just now. And I got the same error. The DDG search via address bar/ddg website works on edge… It’s just not working on Firefox…

          Well, what I would do next is probably use that URL with something like wget or curl (a much simpler HTTP client basically).

          Usually redirect errors are not caused by the browser because the browser is almost not involved at all in redirects, it just calls the URL returned by the server in the Location header.

            Will wget/curl help, since DDG seems to work in Edge?

            Suddenly, I have a bad feeling its some Add-on which is blocking, probably. Let me try and isolate it…
