- Rated 5 out of 5by Bad3r, 12 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 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 5 out of 5by JF Films, 8 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16396495, 4 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 4 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, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Private-Username, 4 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, 4 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 5 out of 5by Bilbo, 4 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 4 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 5 out of 5by THE GRAY MAN, 4 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, 5 years ago
