Asheton (ID: 000000f5f394a3aa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2023 Simple and effective. Even more so when I set the defaults in the settings menu. Would be nice if it saved the results across tabs.

Mike Ekim (ID: 000000ee20c3ef7e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2023 This just works. It has many different units to choose from and to convert to. Awesome extension. Whiners that are saying it don't have this or that need to chill . It free for God sakes. Write your own damn extensions if this is not what you want.
