Description

Learn a new language just by browsing the internet.

*************** YOUR PRIVACY IS TOUCAN’S TOP PRIORITY ***************

When you add Toucan, it says that we can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” That’s only partially true. A more accurate description is that it allows Toucan to translate the words you see on a webpage into the language you’re trying to learn. While we’re sure you’re a super interesting person, we do not have any interest in tracking what you search for or what you buy. It’s just not our thing.

A good extension, but it does have a tendency to get homonyms wrong. For example, the sentence "He never looked back" became "He nunca looked espalda." The word espalda means back, as in the part of your body. However, in this context, the appropriate word would be atrás, meaning back as in behind. The full sentence is "nunca miró hacia atrás".

So. This is most DEFINITLY NOT a rip-off of Duolingo. But I'll give some credit, I like the idea of a toucan better than a creepy owl. 💀
