An awesome browser extension that reads aloud webpage content with one click
Due to potential confusion of the extra permissions, and weighing cost and benefits, we decided to revert the Google Docs workarounds implemented in version 1.54.0
We implemented some workarounds to make Read Aloud work more smoothly with Google Docs. This requires some new permissions to be granted for the docs.google.com website. These permissions allow Read Aloud to inject a few lines of code when the docs.google.com page is loaded, and configure Docs to render the document in HTML instead of as a canvas. All the injected code are included in the extension package, no remote code is loaded or executed. And no information is collected or sent to the Read Aloud servers.
Version 1.45.0 made GoogleTranslate voices work again. However, it now requires granting webRequestBlocking permission to intercept and modify the Sec-Fetch-Site header in requests made to translate.google.com, in order to work.
Version 1.45.1 fix a bug where user not able to test GoogleTranslate voices from the Options page.
