Live Currency Translator

See every price in your currency

A Chrome extension that converts the prices on any web page into the currency you actually think in — using live exchange rates. It runs only on the tab you click, keeps no history, and reverts in one click.

Why this one

Private by design

No host permissions. It reads a page only after you click the toolbar icon on it (activeTab), and that access ends when you navigate away.

No tracking

No analytics, no accounts, no data collected. The only network call is an anonymous rate lookup.

Handles dynamic pages

A MutationObserver keeps converting prices that load in later — infinite scroll, single-page apps, Amazon's lazy widgets.

One-click revert

Every original value is remembered and restored exactly.

160+ currencies

Rates from open.er-api.com, cached for six hours, with an ECB fallback.

Open source

MIT licensed, zero runtime dependencies, no build step. Read every line on GitHub.

Known limitations

The “$” sign is ambiguous. More than twenty currencies use it. When a page shows $ with no ISO code and no other clue, the extension assumes US dollars. It uses the site's country domain (.ca, .au, …) and language as hints, but a .com page that quietly prices in Canadian or Australian dollars will convert wrong. Prices that name the currency — CAD $, A$, AUD 12.00 — convert correctly. The same applies to a bare kr (assumed SEK) and a bare ¥ (assumed JPY). Trying to guess further tends to be wrong in confusing ways more often than it helps, so this is left as a deliberate caveat.

Split-price widgets. Some shops render the symbol, the whole number and the cents as separate elements. Amazon's layout is handled; other retailers with their own custom markup are added one at a time — report a page and it can be looked at.

Privacy

The extension stores your chosen currency and a cached copy of exchange rates — both locally, in your browser. It sends one request, only when rates need refreshing, to open.er-api.com: no cookies, no identifiers, no page URLs. Full policy: PRIVACY.md.
