In-page translation rebuild

Version 0.2.0 removes the full-page Google Translate proxy. Pages now stay on their original website while readable text is translated directly in the DOM.

What changed

  • Protected, authenticated, and interactive sites no longer leave their real host
  • Visible text, useful accessibility attributes, dynamic content, open shadow roots, and document frames are handled
  • Original text is retained for one-click restoration
  • Translation requests are batched and cached, with endpoint fallback, timeouts, and safe rollback
  • Popup and settings controls now report live translation state
  • Privacy documentation and required website-access disclosures are updated
  • 14 automated regression tests plus package validation pass

Important installation note

This version needs permission to read and change text on HTTP and HTTPS websites so automatic in-page translation can work. Brave may show the corresponding permission prompt when upgrading.

Known limits

Browser-internal pages, extension pages, the built-in PDF viewer, text inside images/video/canvas, and inaccessible closed frames cannot be translated by a standard extension. Translation service availability and rate limits remain external dependencies.

A live retest on the previously failing Sharingful page is still required after installing this release.
