ddd ppp (ID: 000000fd5fa173dc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/27/2022 It is a good extension - it does what it says , except this: When web page is translated by Chrome - although the page shows English text the summary is in original language. ( seldom works well ) . Please fix this ! It would be nice to combine Preview with Summary so I do not have to open the page in new page ( well - translate would not work in this case) Fix please translated page summary and I will give 5 stars !
