Review Summary
Many users praised Chrome Currency Converter for its ease of use and effective currency conversion in the past. However, multiple recent reviews report that after updates, the extension stubbornly converts all amounts to Euro, ignores user-selected currencies, and produces inaccurate or 1:1 conversion rates. Settings reset on browser restart, and whitelist features no longer work as intended. While some users have temporary workarounds, the overall performance has deteriorated, making the extension unreliable and frustrating for many.
Pros
- Previously functioned well and was considered the best currency converter extension by users.
- Supports automatic currency conversion for whitelisted sites.
- Allows users to select a local currency for conversion.
- Simple to use with a useful functionality of converting prices on shopping sites.
Cons
- Currently, the extension defaults to converting all currencies to Euro regardless of user settings.
- Conversion rates are often incorrect or display 1:1 conversion, leading to inaccurate conversions.
- Settings do not persist after restarting the browser, reverting to default Euro currency.
- Whitelist and automatic conversion features no longer function correctly.
- Recent updates appear to have broken core functionality, causing frustration among users.
