Lams Smith (ID: 00000096537c2fe1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/26/2023 The extension is simple but useful. Question: Does it support one currency rate monitor only? Can I monitor more than one rate? Such as: USD <-> GBP, USD <-> EUR etc

Evgheni M (ID: 000000fcd3e4a513) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Hello! It worked fine some time. Now it shows N\A on the icon. Though when I click the icon it shows the graph of selected currency rate.

Laurennial (Laurennial) (ID: 00000074465ca63b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/02/2023 This is a clean, easy to use converter, and I really love that this currency converter shows the amount on its icon, and I can't seem to find any other ones that do this. However, it has a HUGE problem-- it's CONSTANTLY saying "the chart service is under maintenance," so, it's not working. That's kind of a really key function of this extension, it needs to be like, red alert #1 priority to FIX THIS for the dev. It's been doing that for months now, at least. I got so annoyed with it I finally uninstalled it today only to realize that my favorite part of it doesn't seem to be a common feature of other ones, so I guess I'll tolerate it and just hope it gets fixed soon.
