Where is S3.Translator extension?

[Luis]

While installing Firefox 67.0.1 and extensions I couldn't find
'S3.Translator' extension. It just disappeared from addons.mozilla.org.
I copied the extension s3go...@translator.xpi file from my laptop into
the desktop and works.
Any idea what happened with that extension?

It was removed from addons.mozilla.org for violating policy about data
collection.

Ohh yeah that's true. It's a pity cause it is the best translator.
Thanks Chris for the info.

This time FF blocked the extension at the browser. To protect our
privacy Mozilla says. Oh thank you, thank you! However, S3.Translator is
(was) the best and only one that really works. As far as I know there is
no alternative. A good one I mean. From now on, how could I translate
those scientific pages in Mien, Acholi, Ewe and Dzongkha?

Looks like it is back.

Do a search from your Add-ons Manager.

Yes, it's back. Good catch Walt!

I see that this addon certainly wants access to a whole lot of
information. I use "simple translate" for my addon and it is capable of
handling every translation from online newspapers and magazines to
conversations in real time, and it doesn't capture my information to
send to Google.
