Local translation of text comes to mind.
Yup, Firefox has it: https://browser.mt/ (it's now a native part of Firefox)
Hmm maybe this is why Firefox is so damn slow on my raspberry pi
Hmm I don't think it's because of that feature, because it only runs when you explicitly ask it to translate a page for you. You should probably check your extensions, see if you have some redundant ones (a mistake people make is use multiple ad-blockers/anti-trackers, when just uBlock Origin + Firefox's defaults are usually good enough).
Firefox has that already (without using an LLM). But yeah, it's still another way this could be implemented or possibly improved.
I was thinking more along the lines of communicating with a Klingon captain on a D7 Battlecruiser.
Vivaldi has had local translation for about half a year now. No need for LLM for this feature.
