There is a problem with the course display. Insignificant digits of the rate are shown. https://ibb.co/gRZD7sc

The extension is simple but useful. Question: Does it support one currency rate monitor only? Can I monitor more than one rate? Such as: USD <-> GBP, USD <-> EUR etc

Hello! It worked fine some time. Now it shows N\A on the icon. Though when I click the icon it shows the graph of selected currency rate.
