Great extension, cant get darkcoin working though
by A Google user, 2014-10-21

Works great! Definitely recommended to anyone who likes to keep a close eye on changing rates. One point of improvement would be if it only showed significant digits. Coins like Dogecoin displays like ".000" when viewed as USD.

DarkCoin and MyriadCoin show up as words ( some kind of error I assume ) ... Also it would really be great to have an option to have a badge for each selected coin. I don't want to have to click though. I like the idea of this, would love to give 5 stars if it worked.
