Extension summary

Analyze keywords

AutoConvert converts units, time zones and currencies, when you select them on a webpage. Selecting metric units (e.g. 16 km) converts them to the imperial units (e.g. 10 mi), and vice versa (10 inch to 25 cm). Time zones are converted to the detected local time zone. Supported currencies are converted to your home currencies.

Conversions are automattic, and appear in a corner of the page as soon as you select any text containing convertible units.

Alternatively, convert any values by using the text box in the extension popup (press the extension button in the toolbar).

A list of supported units, currencies and time zones is available here: https://updatenotes.blog/autoconvert-list-of-supported-units-time-zones-and-currencies/

** Currency conversion is a premium feature, and requires a purchase after the trial period. Please check if your currency is supported before purchasing.

Converts up to 6 values in a selection. Unlimited conversions in popup.

UPDATE: I just read Harald Simon's review, posted on Jan 19, 2021, and saw that he is right. If you try to convert "90 feet" the conversion will be off by 17 inches. That's not very accurate. I did give this a three star review, but now I am dropping it to one star and uninstalling it. You can take your "10 day trial" and... keep it for people who make poor decisions. The unit converter might be good, might be bad. I like that I can just type something like "180 lb" or "72F" and immediately get a response showing the conversion. And I like that there is an option to remember my last input. But, the unit converter might also be limited. I haven't tested it enough yet. In other converters, you can convert things into dozens of other units but in this extension it seems there is only one unit you can convert to and it is chosen for you and I doubt that you can change it and even if you could it is too inconvenient. I really don't like how this extension is paywalled. Just allow us to use the currency converter for free and if people want to donate, they will. But not only that, the ONLY way to donate is through subscribing monthly, and I don't do subscriptions. If it were a one time and SMALL donation to unlock the currency converter, then I would maybe consider it. As for the time converter, that isn't at all useful to me. I can't like type "time Paris" to know what time it is there. It just shows my time. I can type "10 PM GST" and it will tell me how many hours ago that was, but that doesn't help me at all. I'd rather have the time converter paywalled and get the currency converter for free. Anyway, I really don't like paywalled stuff so I can't give this extension a rating higher than three stars. Remove the paywall, and I'll bump this up to four or five stars. If the currency converter is not paywalled, the developer can still have donation and subscription links and still receive an income for their work. But the way it is being done now is just going to result in unhappy people and poor reviews. Maybe some people want to spend $22-108 a year (depending on subscription plan) to convert currency when other extensions do it for free. Not me.
