Tumaz Formosa (ID: 000000a6596db715) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/07/2020 it can't recognize comma: 1,953 pounds (432.27 kg) 432.27 kg is 953 pounds

icon

Patrick Zahra (ID: 0000008a255b4fae) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/19/2019 Mostly works. Doesn't take into account the thousands separator, so something like 2,000 miles comes out as 0 km. Would be nice to have an options page to set decimal places or indicate what units to not bother converting.

Zoe Larasati (ID: 000000988525ef9e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/18/2019 Thanks for making this extension. Sadly It doesn't work when inches are written in decimals like 8.5" or 2.75".

icon

Liat (ID: 000000c3e3fdc4d1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/09/2019 It works most of time, but seems to mess up when the units are separated with a space. The following for example, gives 0 km for all units. 250,000,000,000 mi3 ≈ 1,042,000,000,000 km3 333,000,000 mi3 ≈ 1,388,000,000 km3 8,000 mi ≈ 12,875 km

(ID: ) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/16/2018 It's okay, but it's missing speed conversions (mph to km/h).
