User reviews

Users find the Universal Automatic Currency Converter useful and easy to use for quick currency conversions. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with unwanted automatic conversions that cannot be disabled, causing slow page loads and high CPU usage. Persistent localization alerts and incomplete currency coverage further affect usability. Overall, while valuable, performance and customization flaws limit the add-on's experience.

Pros

Fast and simple to use.
Useful for quick currency conversion on many websites.
Generally effective in identifying currencies for conversion.
Clean and straightforward interface.
Helpful toggling feature (hover + shift) for manual conversion.

Cons

Auto-conversion on page load cannot be reliably disabled, leading to unwanted conversions.
Slows down page loading significantly, especially on pages with many prices.
High CPU usage on pages with multiple currency amounts.
Localization warnings pop up persistently even when disabled.
Doesn't work on some websites and fails to convert certain currencies (e.g., HUF).

Recent reviews

Wonderful add-on. Works perfectly. I did however spend 10 minutes wondering what the hell was wrong with google sheets because my "$A$1" was being converted to "A0,96€". Heavily recommend whitelisting google spreadsheets as soon as you install the extension. Or make it a default setting?
