The google translate button on the web page to the left side when reading is blocking some of the text because the square with text in it that tells you to use google translate won't go away, the text in the box goes away but not the box itself. I need to enlarge the text size because of bad eyesight and distance to screen (not easily fixable) so I was wondering if anyone in here know of a way to remove that blasted thing?

Google Translate button
If you have no problem clicking a few buttons with your mouse, you can disable it within 3-4 clicks.
Follow the below steps:
1. Right-click on the Google Translate Icon
2. Click on the Inspect button at the very bottom of the pop-up menu.
3. A sidebar (Developer Tools) will open on your browser window looking the same as below.
As you see, there's one line that is highlighted with a semi-blue background. That's what you need to care about.
4. Right-click on the highlighted line that you see in the sidebar (Developer Tools) and it will open a hovering menu with various options.
5. Click on the Delete Element option in the hovering menu that appears.
BAM! The Google Translate icon is now gone. But remember, it will only be gone for as long as you don't click on the re-load button or change the novel you are reading. You can just repeat these steps if it appears again.

I would not recommend using Google translate because it makes a lot of mistakes in translation. If you do not know which translation service to contact, I advise you to read these reviews - https://pickwriters.com/german-translation-services . With their help, I chose a reliable service when I needed to translate my book into German.
