Переустанавливал, но все равно последнее обновление курса пишет от 2024-12-08. Соответственно показывает неверный старый курс.

Единственное расширение, которое показывает более-менее нормальную курс для моей страны. Гугл всегда показывает неправильный курс, другие расширения не знаю, что парсят, но у них так же курс ошибочный.
