Release Notes — 1.1.13 (2026-05-24)

Performance

• Fixed high CPU usage and freezing on constantly-updating pages — On pages that change continuously (live auctions, infinite-scroll feeds, video players), the extension could pin the CPU and hang for up to ~30 seconds while selecting text. It no longer re-scans the same content in a loop, skips live/auto-updating regions, and waits for the page to be genuinely idle before scanning.

Unit detection improvements
- Improved regex to support single temperature letter after number including "Set it to 125f and...".
- Also handles punctuation after unit "Can I set it to 150f? ..."

Bug Fixes

• Fixed double currency symbol on some pricing pages — On pages where the currency symbol ($, €, etc.) is in a separate HTML element from the number, the extension was showing $$1 instead of $1. Fixed.

What's New

• Report conversion issues — New feedback button lets you report problems directly from the popup or settings page. Right-click selected text for conversion-specific reports, or use the settings button for general feedback.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed popup lag on long-lived pages — Pages with frequent DOM updates (e.g. video players) could cause the extension to freeze when selecting text. Scanning is now deduplicated and capped to prevent backlog buildup.
• Fixed comma-thousands numbers misread as decimals — Numbers like "1,800 ft" were incorrectly parsed as 1.8 ft. Thousands separators are now properly detected and handled across all unit types.
• Fixed highlights disappearing on live-updating pages — Pages that update values dynamically (React, frameworks) no longer lose their unit highlights when content changes.
• Fixed number format detection — Improved parsing for various number formats.

Settings Improvements

• Reorganized settings layout for clarity
• Developer tools moved behind a hidden toggle to keep the UI clean

New Features

• Settings page — Configure preferred unit system, target currency, temperature/fuel display preferences, hover toggle, page scan toggle, and the hold-to-replace key
• Hold-key page replacement — Hold a configurable key (default: Alt) to replace all detected units/currencies on the page with their conversions at once; release to restore
• Fuel efficiency conversions — Detects and converts MPG, L/100km, and km/L (handles the inverse MPG↔L/100km relationship correctly)
• Unit system filtering — Page scan skips highlighting units already in your preferred unit system; re-scans automatically when the setting changes

Bug Fixes

• Hyphenated quantities — Values like "28-ounce" and "2-pound" are now detected correctly
• False positives on model/part numbers — Numbers preceded by letters (e.g. DC62-00024M) or with leading zeros (e.g.007) are no longer matched as unit values
• Currency rate readiness — Fixed a bug where currency rates always appeared unready because the date check didn't account for ECB publishing previous-day dates
• Cross-element unit detection — Page scan now operates at the block level, correctly detecting measurements that span inline elements (e.g. <b>28</b> oz)
• Hold-replace with rich content — Restoring spans after hold-replace now correctly restores original HTML (not just text) for units that span inline elements
