I was using Firefox's "about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox" page to debug this add-on, I found something that when this extension is sending requests to external servers to get the translation results, there will be a special request header "Origin: moz-extension://(Following with a unique id)". And this"moz-extension://(Following with a unique id)" won't be changed unless reinstalling this extension. My concern is that this special request header may lead to the possibility of cross-IP tracking. I hope there will be changes to the code to cancel the sending of this request header.

This is indeed a serious privacy issue. My Tor browser used this plug -in, it made my anonymous invalid.

In fact, Tor official doesn't encourage user install any other extensions.
