I just installed QuickConvert, a Chrome extension that caught my eye because I’m constantly converting currencies and units for work. After using it for a day, I think it’s one of those surprisingly handy tools you don’t realize you need until you have it.
Why It’s Useful:
Instant Currency Conversion: You highlight any amount like “250 EUR” on a page, click the icon, and it shows you the real-time value in your preferred currency. No new tabs, no searching Google.
Trend Charts: What I really like is it shows a small 30-day chart of how the exchange rate has been moving. Super helpful if you’re deciding whether to buy something or invoice clients in another currency.
Unit Conversion: Same thing with units—grams to ounces, kilometers to miles—done instantly with clear results.
Saves Time: I didn’t realize how often I was stopping what I was doing just to check conversions. Now it feels frictionless.
Lightweight & Private: No sign-up, no tracking, and the popup loads almost instantly.
I think anyone who works with international clients, shops globally, or just likes knowing the trends will find it useful.
Curious if others here are using similar tools, or what other quick-reference extensions people recommend.
