Linguist is a browser extension that translate content on web page. It cannot work other way, because "translate web page content" implies access to DOM of web page.

Linguist is highly customizable.
In recent update has been added an option to control what elements must not be translated.
User now can describe elements to ignore as CSS selectors and Linguist will skip translation on anything that match the query.

Then how you can explain that Linguist still not in privacy guides list?
Because It's literally the single one extension who really care about privacy as I explained above bsky.app/profile/vito...
It was rejected twice as I can see.

For me it looks like site where you should pay moderators to publish your product. I did not pay, so my product is not there.
There are many sites based on this model, and I sure all of them is a bad company to trust.

For me as a security researcher who built a linguister.io with embedded offline translator and support for custom translators, it looks suspicious that Privacy Guides still did not added Linguist at their site for more than 4 years.

Huh, that's quite original way to tell us about malware in a blog post on platform that requires registration and send spam to its clients.

Yeah, especially if we talk about quality in general.
Games nowadays have improvements in graphics, but gameplay even degraded. AI may step on this way too and for example be more powerful, but less useful due to regulations and censorship

My opinion is visually they looks better. There are even renders near to photo realistic graphic, at least in trailers. Of course maybe 20 years later we will laugh on it.
But it still is not enough good to confuse it with reality.
AI now is on level of video games in 2004 year

I think we should not blame anybody, but just won't pay anybody who requests so much information.
They could sign up an entity in Panama/Cyprus/Dubai/etc. where there are no such BDSM-style regulations.
But you're right about milking supporters
