I think this is going to be my main.

You could tey Super Agent on firefox. Though they only have 40 free pop ups before paying either subscription or one time pay.
It worked really well for me and I didn’t realize it was doing its thing until I quickly reached the 40 pop up limit.
Translation is my main use. Yes, the caveat that AI is 50/50 wrong is still there but at least I don’t have to pester friends that know the language for everything. I only use it for unimportant things.
Zen can still use Firefox sync to sync between desktop and mobile. Just have to use a firefox based mobile browser that didn’t cut out firefox sync. I’m personally use Waterfox on Android, and Zen on Windows. My plan to move to linux by buying a new 2TB SSD is kind of on hold for now…
While Zen has their own mods page that works better with it, Firefox extensions work well.
It gets the job done enough to understand the jist for me, yeah. But mostly I only do short posts. A language like Japanese makes it just a lot harder from what I understand from friends that learned the language. IIRC it’s because the language relies on unspoken context and of course its grammar making machine translation trip.
