It's really easy to highlight a phrase, click the button that appears, and have an instant translation without ever leaving the webpage you're on.

Being the crazy web dev/ net surfer I am I usually have both IE8 and FF3 open with several tabs open. I have 11 right now in Firefox, 9 in IE, and 3 in Safari (I use it for browsing specific sites. Kind of like my secure, remember no passwords, etc. browser. )
Here is the thing I don't get about Microsoft lately, why are they copying to catch up? They haven't really been thinking about any unique ideas and this really saddens me to see that, I mean sure, some features can be copied I guess but that is ALL they seem to be doing that is obvious to me, I mean I guess they are doing other things behind the scenes but I never see any new features, only copied as of late.
