I found the extension unsuited to my needs. I would like to see an option to select prefered units. It doesn't recognize feet and inches represented with prime and double prime marks (′ and ″) (single and double quote marks (' and ") work fine). Lacking an option to change color of text or background, conversions are usually unreadable when used with the Dark Reader extension. The extension exhibits erratic behavior when used in text boxes, sometimes not working at all, other times using CSS from the page which can lead to oddly displayed results; for example, in one forum I frequent, I wanted to convert a measurement while composing a post and the popup ran off the page with excessive spacing and used the forum's custom graphic line separators between the units.
Select a dimension and a list of conversions pops up next to the original. Does exactly what I wanted. Would be great if you could turn off certain dims it converts too that you would never be interested in seeing to make the popup list cleaner but thats my only comment.
Not smart enough to pick up ranges like some other extensions are. For example, selecting the text "7-24 cm" does not trigger the popup. If you select "24 cm" it will convert it, but there is no way to convert the "7".
