A Chromium extension would be great

[quarkl8]

Thanks so much for this frontend! I found a Lingva extension for [(](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lingva/) but couldn't find anything for Chromium browsers like Brave, that would be really great to have!

Hi and thanks for your interest in this project.

This has already been requested in #22 and #75.
The Lingva project is meant to be a webapp serving as a Free and Open Source front end for Google Translate.

We aren't intending to make addons ourselves, but we have a great API, both in REST and GraphQL, as well as an NPM package, for making use of our scraping.
So basically anyone can make a project using Lingva as a base, as some people mentioned on our Readme already created Android or UbuntuTouch native apps.

That Firefox extension isn't ours, but made by someone else in the community using our APIs. I didn't even know about it. Unfortunately, it seems it's using our name and logo instead of creating a new identity, as I usually recommend doing. There's nothing that stops people from using the Lingva name, as it's a community-driven project, but in my opinion they shouldn't because it can be confusing for people like you.

I don't know if anyone has already created an addon for Chromium, but indeed it's pretty easy to run a Firefox addon there. Make an issue in his repository requesting it, or try it by yourself using the WebExtensions polyfill.

I hope all this helped.
Regards, David.
