Not including Google itself or Wikipedia.

For me it has been Google Translate including the web page, the app and the translation options available when I'm using the Chrome browser.

Game Changer.

Google Translate has allowed a significant expansion on what sites, printed materials, and correspondence I can utilize or interact with.

    I collect German coins. Google translate is very useful for long translations. www.dict.leo.org is much much better for individual word or phrase translations since it gives lots of synonyms, connotations, and usages. Google translate doesn't know the word for mint, but that dictionary does.

    I probably use this website as much as many others: USPS tracking

    I use uBlock Origin as a Chrome add-on for all of my browsing. It blocks a lot of adds, including youtube adds. It blocks lots of third party requests for data, which can help with browser speed and security.

    I love old maps and so I enjoy finding mint locations on contemporary maps. There are some great, high resolution maps at www.davidrumsey.com and there's a fantastic historic maps search engine at www.oldmapsonline.org.

    Here's an example where I have found my coin's mint on the map.
