Add Movar — Ukrainian-first browser extension for avoiding imposed Russian defaults #297

Description

@rejifald

Hi! I would like to suggest adding Movar to the "Projects that #StandWithUkraine" list.

Project: https://github.com/rejifald/movar
Website: https://movar.fyi
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/movar/
Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/movar/bagafijhbhalglmeecicebmgaebipdgi

Movar is a free, open-source, cross-browser extension that keeps the internet in the user's preferred language. It prioritizes Ukrainian by default, uses English as fallback, and steers search engines and multilingual sites away from Russian when they ignore the user's language preference.

Why I think it fits this repo:

  • Movar already uses the StandWithUkraine banner/badge in its README.
  • It directly helps Ukrainian-speaking users avoid Russian-by-default search results, site versions, language pickers, and content cards.
  • It does not translate Russian content into Ukrainian; it blocks or redirects away from imposed Russian defaults.
  • It is privacy-preserving: no accounts, no analytics, no remote language detection, and nothing leaves the browser.
  • It is MIT-licensed and built as a cross-browser MV3 extension.

Suggested README entry:

- [Movar](https://github.com/rejifald/movar) - A cross-browser extension that keeps the internet in your language, prioritizing Ukrainian and steering search engines and multilingual sites away from Russian.

I am also opening a tiny PR with the one-line README addition so maintainers can merge directly if it looks right.
