Browser extension

Keep the internet in your language.

You've set your language everywhere, and sites still hand you another one. Movar keeps putting your choice back.

Google search results for a Cyrillic query, with Russian-language pages dominating
Movar added your language to the query.
Same Google search, now returning Ukrainian-language pages

Where this works

Movar looks for the site's own language switcher and switches it to yours.

Search

Movar writes your language into the query itself, so results come back right the first time — not after you filter them yourself.

Any multilingual site

Switching once isn't enough — sites forget your choice. Movar remembers it for you.

By default Movar only switches — hiding is turned on in settings

Element by element

Movar reads the structure of the page and hides individual elements — results in the wrong language, videos, posts. For now it knows the Google and YouTube result pages; each new structure is its own rule.

How it works

Two steps. The first declares your language. The second filters out what slipped through.

How Movar detects language

Declare your language up front

Works right after install
Browser "This person reads Ukrainian."
Site "Got it." — then shows Russian anyway
Search "Cyrillic? Russian, then."

Browser language is only a hint, and sites ignore it. Search doesn't even ask — it guesses from your letters, and there are more Russian pages on the web.

Movar tunes it to your language

What you search for

google.com/search?q= новини

What reaches search

google.com/search?q= новини &hl=uk

That green tail means exactly one thing: "answer in Ukrainian." Your language now sits inside the query itself — where search cannot help but see it.

Filter out what slips through

A site can serve Russian text while its markup says the page is Ukrainian — and search believes the markup, not the text. Filtering by language then fails: Russian results arrive carrying a Ukrainian tag.

Turned on in settings Individual page elements — results in the wrong language, videos, posts
Review: great headphones, battery lasts…
hidden
Feedback: worth it, best value for the money…

Item by item: Russian posts, videos, and results get hidden, Ukrainian ones stay. Nothing is translated — that option does not exist.

What Movar won't do to the page

Never translates content

Doesn't scan files — images, audio, or video

Source code — check it yourself, or have an AI scan it

Why this matters

On their own these are small things. Together they are the Ukrainian internet.

01 02 03 04 You chose Ukrainian, the site serves Russian In analytics, this looks like your choice Less Ukrainian content gets made The site keeps choosing for you and the loop closes
The choice the site made comes back as proof that readers wanted it.

What never surfaces never gets made.

Ukrainian shops, creators, and newsrooms get fewer readers — not because their work is worse, but because readers never see it. Less audience this year means less Ukrainian content next year.

AI answers in the language of its sources.

For Cyrillic queries those sources are mostly Russian-language pages — there are simply more of them on the web. Every site that goes Ukrainian changes what the AI reads next time.

Like the idea? Join in

Movar is non-commercial: no paid tier, no premium features, no data for sale. There is one goal — more Ukrainian on the internet.

  • A store review

    Stores decide who to show an extension to by its ratings and reviews. One honest review counts for more than it looks.

  • Tell someone

    Everyone who switches Movar on is a row in the same analytics localisation budgets grow from. A true one, this time.

  • Bug reports

    A site where Movar missed, or fired where it shouldn't have. Each one becomes a test, and stops happening.

  • A star on GitHub

    The cheapest action there is: the more visible the project, the more people find it.
