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.
Vivaldi has had local translation for about half a year now. No need for LLM for this feature.
I was thinking more along the lines of communicating with a Klingon captain on a D7 Battlecruiser.
