Wait, this is LibreWolf we're speaking about. Have you unchecked these two? (see screenshot)

UPDATE: The upper checkbox seems to flip browser.translations.enable in about:config. Librewolf even demands you do a full browser restart after unchecking. Combined with the name of the property, I think it's a win for you! I mean, that this thing really disables translations from ever executing.

UPDATE 2: Admittedly it's not pre-disabled though. But clearly exposed in the settings.

You speak every language?
Even if I understand french and English, and both are disabled from suggesting a translation; I don't speak German and I find using it to translate in place without giving my data to Google is pretty good.

A choice allows for saying no. Installing it anyway takes away your choice. Having to disable something you didn’t want to begin with puts the responsibility on the person that didn’t want it. Then you are responsible for keeping up with it hoping it doesn’t turn itself on in an update or send information somewhere regardless of being disabled.

A separate update/download for AI would actually give the user a choice.

It's just a shame to downvote blogpost. They will be less visible.

Should be opt in.

Otherwise it is like CISA -- you are always having to stay vigilant for the next incarnation to fight against or AI feature to detect and disable. It is exhausting and Mozilla hopes people will just give up and accept it if they keep including more unwanted features....

I wish there was a fork of librewolf almost exactly the same, but focused on website compatibility > privacy.

Basically librewolf but preconfigured for ease of use as much as possible.

That way I could have both installed on my system side by side.

Good.
