    Can’t help but mention Yandex is 100% as evil as Google is.

    Out of popular choices, DeepL is probably least evil. Reverso is often a nice pick, too, especially Reverso Context.

    There are also things like LibreTranslate, though the quality is generally lower (but can absolutely come in handy for simpler requests)

      Yandex might be the same as Google, but spreading your footprint across services still has value as a technique for mitigation. The only other thing I use Yandex for is the occasional image search since it can sometimes do a better job than others.

        Fair enough; however, to me it’s only optimal when there are no alternatives.

        But to each their own.
