But that would imply that everyone uses Firefox (or has to) ^^

Also, since Tatoeba has a broader public than students in a classroom, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing to drop the furigana. A lot of people would rather have something that is 80-90% accurate than not having anything at all, because it saves them time. And in the end, it's people's own responsibility to decide whether they want something perfect or not.

Generating furigana is not what slows down Tatoeba the most, you wouldn't see a difference in speed if we took it out, so it wouldn't justify that we take it out.

But as a teacher, you can (and actually *must*) educate your students not to rely on the furigana line, and use Rikaichan instead. It's not incompatible. I use it myself (and always did) whenever I want to figure out the reading of a Japanese sentence in Tatoeba, despite the fact that the reading is already displayed.
