- Rated 5 out of 5by Bad3r, 2 days agoI tried multiple extensions and by far this is the best one. I recommend enabling the whitelist and adding domains or TLDs that you need currency exchange for such as `co.jp` (common Japanese TLD). Make sure to press Enter after adding it to the whitelist field otherwise it won't save it.
The context menu will also allow you to white list in a much easier way.
# Enhancements that would be nice to have:
- Instead of highlighting the price conversion, allow for changing the color instead temporarily. I find the highlight effect ugly.
- allow the reverse of Misc "Display conversion in brackets beside original price" i.e. "Display original price in brackets beside conversion price"
Thank you for the great extension. No more doing a google search every time I want to check a price. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17821702, a month agoWorks great, you can set it so that you simply hover over a price and you get the converted rate but I wish it had an option that allowed you to see multiple currencies at once, for example if I want to see the price in 3 currencies in one shot like AED, USD, and CAD
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10206391, 2 months agoWhen it works, it works surprisingly well.
When it doesn't work, it seems like it's 'dunce level'---not even recognizing obvious currency amounts, or worse, doing some strange thing where a perfectly clear currency amount is turned into some strange symbols/letters/numerals string of characters bearing no relationship to reality.
It would be great if it could be fixed because it's very useful when it randomly works.
NOTE: Someone else remarked that the interface/settings are difficult to figure out. No, they are actually virtually impossible to figure out. Bad, bad design! - Rated 5 out of 5by Ube, 6 months agoWonderful add-on. Works perfectly.
I did however spend 10 minutes wondering what the hell was wrong with google sheets because my "$A$1" was being converted to "A0,96€".
Heavily recommend whitelisting google spreadsheets as soon as you install the extension. Or make it a default setting? - Rated 1 out of 5by Topher, 6 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by thereddog, 10 months agoWorks well, but it also converts USD currencies to USD when it should just ignore them

- Rated 4 out of 5by -, 2 years agoGood. Issues: It intrudes with localization warnings nonstop, even when turned off. Price calculation takes a lot of time. Mini calculator doesn't work. Spawns into edit boxes.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Elias, 2 years agoThe convert works well on sites with a few numbers that it identifies as a currency. I can easily overlook the smaller challenges there might be when it guess the currency wrong and the fiddling with the settings to make it work as you want it to.
Unfortunately some pages takes a lot of time to load or process data, as conversion can take some time to process pages with multiple amount of prices, even to the extend that Firefox itself suggest disabling it when it identifies that a page won't load.
Eventually i got around to do a performance analysis since loading a product page in a webshop made my pc fans go into turbo mode. It appears that this extension used 97% of the CPU time when loading a product page with 17 items.
While it probably adds additional nodes in the DOM and not just calculate a number, I don't fell like 97% CPU usage in 6 seconds is a good performance result. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17928793, 2 years agoNice clean and useful addon, well done.👍
