Automatically turns on on Google Translate

[Marin-Kitagawa]

Whatever I type in Google Translate is captured by this extension. This is just annoying. I quit the toolbar the first time but it reappeared the next time I typed or changed anything in the editor. See the video below.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. I really appreciate the issue you raised yesterday, I'm just still writing my reply to it as it covers a few areas!

The popup contains the setting you need. If you don't know how to get to that, it's in the Mark My Search icon on the browser toolbar:

(It may be hidden under the Extensions puzzle-piece, also in the toolbar.)

Just add the problematic site to "Sites to Not Detect As Search Engines", as follows:

Oh, thanks. Will try that. It will be easier to add a button in the toolbar to add the site to the ignore list instead of manually adding it to the ignore list. I wasn't aware of the tab at the bottom. Thanks for that. Will look into it. By the way, does it support regular expressions?

No worries. I will label this as a feature request, as I agree that this isn't ideal (it's not very discoverable, and the fact that websites like Google Translate are detected as "search engines" by default isn't good).

does it support regular expressions?

Currently, both lists support domain names, optionally followed by paths. Both the domain name and path can contain wildcards. That means that you can add a * anywhere to represent "any text".

Note: I discovered that this system contains a bug which means items in the list can filter out more URLs than they should. I'm currently working on fixing this.
