It seems most of the comments are outdated. This extension is fantastic. It saves me a lot of time parsing to Epoch website. The first extension that works so well that I write a review for it.

Not compatible with many websites. It sometimes worked, but gave "map" errors in the console and often didn't convert epochs when needed most.
