spammy, or outdated. Pros
- Works well for converting ingredients from Imperial to metric units.
- Effectively catches written fractions and odd measurements.
- Saves time for users tired of googling conversions.
- Easy to use for most types of cooking.
- Good for recipes with plain text.
Cons
- Insists on converting volume to weight, which some users find unnecessary.
- Requires the extension to be turned off and on for each new page.
- Inconsistent conversion results for the same ingredients on different websites.
- Not precise enough for baking measurements.
- Slow and buggy in some cases.
Most mentioned

| 2024-05-16 |  | | en | So sick of seeing Imperial units and Fahrenheit, this works great, saved me so much strife. |
| 2023-12-20 |  | | en | It's great, but it can be improved by ability to read a single character fractions like ⅜ . |
| 2023-02-01 |  | | Turns everything into ml. Then I have to search again how much is it in grams. Not really useful. | |

| 2021-01-11 |  | | I'm tired of constantly googling these odd US metrics - this is a great idea and it works very well! I tested it on a bunch of sides including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_weights_and_measures. It doesn't do tables it seems, but for plain text it works great. Awesome that it can catch "worded arithmetics" like this one: "Mix 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp of flour [110 g]". As of now I haven't encountered any conversion issues. edit: it doesn't catch that "worded arithmetic" sentence in the chrome web store but it does here: https://theheartyhenhouse.com/2019/02/07/sourdough-worth-the-effort/ | |

| 2020-01-14 |  | | A good extension that I would love to use, but why on earth does it insist on turning volume into weight? That would be a great optional feature for people who want to use their scales, but making it mandatory renders the whole extension basically useless for those of us who don't. Add a setting to switch to strict volume-to-volume conversions and it's an easy five-star. Other option that would be nice are forcing dl instead of ml and disabling conversion of volume measures other than cups. Where I live, we have dl instead of cups and otherwise use essentially the same measurements, so seeing that 1 1/2 cups is 350ml is slightly annoying because I'd rather have it as 3.5dl, and specifying that 2 tablespoons is 30ml is just unnecessary clutter. | |
