autoConvert - Automattic Unit Converter

** >> UPDATE: Please install the new extension - autoConvert Select Search for "autoconvert select" in the store, or go here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/einokpbfcmmopbfbpiofaeohhkmcbbcg *This extension is now deprecated. Please use the new ‘AUTOCONVERT SELECT’ extension instead* autoConvert acts as an interpreter for the reader by automatically converting values on web pages from foreign unit systems to your home unit system. E.g. a person in the US planning a road trip in Europe does not have to worry about how far 230kms will be, as she will see the value as on the page. Similarly, a tourist from India flying to the US will automatically see a 20kg check-in baggage limit in place of the original. The relevant values are highlighted on web pages, and the original/converted values can be checked on mouse-over. For currency conversions, the exchange rate used is also provided in the mouse-over bubble. Choose from Imperial and Metric unit groups, or a custom combination of these, are supported.
