Recently, the popular browser translation extension "Immersive Translation" announced a temporary closure of its bilingual web page sharing feature. This decision stems from community user feedback, as a small number of users inadvertently shared pages containing personal information while using this feature and failed to delete them in a timely manner from their personal center.

In order to mitigate potential privacy risks, the development team has decided to temporarily take this feature offline. They emphasize that this feature will not be reactivated until a more comprehensive privacy protection mechanism is established. This reflects the developers' high regard for user privacy and security.

It is worth noting that this event does not involve any leakage of translated content or backend user data. "Immersive translation" clearly states that external accessible links will only be generated when users actively use the bilingual webpage sharing feature. This means that users' daily translation usage is not affected.

This move has sparked thoughts on the privacy protection of online tools. Achieving a balance between convenience and security has become an important topic in the current development of internet products. We hope that "immersive translation" can soon improve its privacy protection mechanism to provide users with a safer and more reliable service experience.
