I've been using Firefox as my daily driver for perhaps a year or more now.

As well as the translate page button, the other great feature chrome has that I miss dearly is the highlights chrome has in the scrollbar when doing a ctrl-f find-in-page. That is super-useful and a real pain in the arse that Firefox does not support it.

I played around with prototyping an extension to replicate it (or as close as I could get) but it was hard to nicely override the ctrl-f hooks.

FYI, you can press the enter button to go to the next highlighted word in Find-in page.


Yeah, but it's nice to be able to identify high densities of matches at a glance.


Yep - I will often just scroll down to the "densist" area. Keyboard shortcuts are not the problem.
