Re: Since the translation DB can't be held locally ...

Firefox translation all happen locally. Mozilla's support article says: "Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There's no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally."

Mozilla's Firefox Android version already supports uBlock Origin (and a limited list about 20 other extensions), so you don't need to install F-Droid's Fennec to install uBlock Origin. This Mozilla announcement is about allowing users to install extensions that aren't on that list.

Black link text is a bad idea.

This article includes hypertext links with black text within a paragraph of black text. Poor usability.
