Tell HN: Google Translate now leaks visited sites via DNS

3 pointsby kumarjsingh6almost 4 years ago
You should be aware if you are using Google Translate as a proxy.<p>For example currently if you translate Hacker News, you end up in this page: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;translate.google.com&#x2F;translate?hl=&amp;sl=en&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com%2F<p>But if you hover over the links there, you will see the domain becomes &quot;news-ycombinator-com.translate.goog&quot; and congrats, now your authoritarian government knows you have visited hacker news via a proxy.
