- Rated 1 out of 5by superglue, 3 years agoNo matter how many times I check the settings to ensure that "Convert pages automatically on load" is unchecked, pages continue to automatically convert, slowing my browser loading time to an absolute crawl. I only need conversion for a few websites, not my entire browsing experience. Uninstalling.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17332101, 3 years agoReally slowed down page loads, and made pages with javascript updates run really slow... I'd love an extension that only activates when you highlight a text, and then shows result in a popup, like in Opera.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16396495, 3 years agoInstalled and the first conversion I entered was not accurate. (usd to cad). According to xe.com 1usd = 1.26cad.. according to this addon 1usd = 1.3cad.. what gives?
update: Thanks for the quick reply. I found that option and fixed it. I'm surprised it doesn't default to the 3 or 4 significant numbers.. at 2 it's pretty useless.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi, did you look at "Important digits on rounding" option? It defaults to 2 e.g. it would round to only 2 significant digits, so 1.26 would round to 1.3
similarly for 2 significant digits, you can change this option to whatever precision you desire
12499 => 12000
12500 => 13000
Note: if the value is >= 1 it will always round to at most 2 decimal places - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12148667, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15668046, 3 years agoHad to go to settings and change to GBP from USD. Great add on, does it when page loads up, and if you click the price, it shows original

- Rated 5 out of 5by Draky, 3 years agoGreat app all around. I had some problems with it early on (it is glitching on a few websites such as 4chan for me, so I suggest blacklisting those if you notice your browser slowing down), but it's an excellent app nonetheless
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14514637, 3 years agoOkay but it's missing the most obvious option in my view unless I'm missing something. An on/off button straight from the top toolbar in Firefox. It's highly infuriating!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bilbo, 3 years agoHello, thanks for the addon! Can I ask - would it be hard to add support for sites which displays currencies by CSS content style - like gog.com ?
They use something like this in their styling:
._prices-in-usd ._price::before {
content: "$\A0";
}
Thank You!Developer response
posted 3 years agoI'd love to support GOG, but they use psuedo-elements to show their currencies which gives 2 big problems for me (and any extension in general).
These pseudo elements parts do not show up in .innerHTML, .innerText, or textContent (the only js/dom integrated ways of knowing what text elements provide their text content as far as I know) of any given element.
2. Ontop of that I have also found no clean solution to do reversible changes to pseudo elements, and I generally do things in this extension on the principle of "0% chance of fucking sites I alter up"
If you have insight I don't, it would be awesome if you'd share it either on https://github.com/Baizey/UniversalAutomaticCurrencyConverter through opening an issue or via email to baizeydevelopment@gmail.com - Rated 4 out of 5by Heroic_Brine, 3 years agoGood app but has one massive flaw. if you blacklist a site the plugin still converts just dose not show it to you, this causes extreme lag on site with a large amount of numbers making me have to keep disabling and reenabling.

posted 3 years agoThat was actually not intended as a flaw, moreso as it simplified assumptions if the flow was always gone through, even if it wasnt shown to the user, hadn't seen performance issues either, but I may be biased since I have a pretty powerful pc, I will look at returning it to leave sites alone entirely if blacklisted (I will still allow the context menu, but then a refresh is requred if the site is whitelisted)
It would also be a great help if you would send an email to baizeydevelopment@gmail.com about which urls cause extreme lag, it might be a bug I would have to look into :) - Rated 5 out of 5by THE GRAY MAN, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ante, 4 years agoVery useful, lots of customization. This addon is exactly why addons were invented. It does such a simple job but saves a lot of time in the long run.
However, I would like the original currency format not to change when showing converted currency in brackets. For example 10€ becomes 10 EUR (*converted currency*). I'd like it to show 10€ (*converted currency*).
I'd also like to have the option to display the converted price as a tooltip on hover. Then this would be the perfect addon. But it's still 5* from me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Pedro Terrero, 4 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Blocker226, 4 years agoIt works great and has a good interface, but on some pages, not sure if because of loading or otherwise, the extension starts to recursively convert values to the point where the tab crashes.
EDIT: Attempts to report the bug have resulted in no reply, and I cannot recommend this extension due to the inherent instability caused by it.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHi, if you would provide some of the pages where the extension is fucking up I will look into it :) (preferably to baizeydevelopment@gmail.com) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16472663, 4 years agoBest currency converter addon! It has a very intuitive configuration UI and works on all sites I have tried. It also allows you to adjust the conversion rate by a certain factor (Custom Display -> Conversion Rate) although the naming could have been slightly better. The same goes for the "Importang Digits" settings which is awesome for rounding off / trimming of converted values but naming could be better as well. These are minor complaints though and I'm still giving it 5/5.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16324392, 4 years agoAm satisfied by this extension. it's lite weight, fast and best of it: automatically convert to my prefered currency in all the website i have tested it with and without me even toggling it. I recommend this for anyone that needs currency converter extension for firefox.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15945916, 5 years agoExactly what I needed. Toggling from USD to my local currency through my Amazon account settings was very impractical. This add-on works like a charm and I don't have to leave product or listing pages anymore. Being able to customize rounding is a nice plus which I find very useful.
