A browser extension converts highlighted prices instantly

This browser extension removes the need to open a new tab to check exchange rates when seeing prices in foreign currencies. Selecting a price on any webpage converts it directly on the page.

It currently supports 47 major currencies. It also includes a built-in currency converter.
