Chrome embeds a small LLM (never stops being a funny thing) in the browser allowing them to do local translations.

I assume every browser will do the same as on-device models start becoming more useful.

While I appreciate the on-device approach for a couple of reasons, it is rather ironic that Mozilla needs to document that for them.

Firefox also has on-device translations for what its worth.
