Unix timestamp to readable date/time Extension

If you are sometimes forced to read UNIX timestamps in Web UI, you must know how it painful.

This small extension provides two ways to make your life easier.

• Push the extension button and all timestamps will be equipped with popups with readable time. Please visit the extension options page (right click on buttom). Here you can tune many options: colors, support of milli-, micro- and nanosecond, and other.

• If you push extension button on newtab page, you'll get a simple converter page.

Евгений Емельянов (ID: 0000001c3d02eb38) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/30/2020 Это очень удобное расширение! Разработчик видимо понимал через свои мучения с другими расширениями чего не хватает и создал это чУдное расширение! Спасибо!!! This is a very convenient extension! The developer apparently understood through his torment with other extensions what was missing and created this wonderful extension! Thanks!!!
