Introduction
DCC finds and converts prices on any web page with currency quotes from external sources (ECB or Currencylayer).
If you hover the mouse over a converted price, the conversion quote and original value is shown as a tooltip in the upper left corner of the window. The tooltip can be switched off in the settings.
Data protection
DCC does not collect any information about you. The communication is directly between you, the page you are viewing, and the currency data providers. There are no ads or spyware.
Settings
The currencies to be converted is shown in a list in priority order. The currencies can be reordered using drag and drop. For instance, if AUD is before USD and both are selected, "$100" will be converted from AUD. Select All will select all currencies. Select None will turn off all selections.
Convert to is the currency all other currencies will be converted to. Any combination will work.
You can select how conversions are done and shown.
You can also force conversion of all numbers from one currency. It's convenient when you use a page without currency units.
ECB is the default currency source, but rather limited. You can use Currencylayer for free (or paid) if you sign up with them and get an API key. DCC reloads quotes on demand only, so the query limitation of Currencylayer should not be a problem.
You can exclude any URL from being converted. Regular Expressions are valid.
Reset settings will reset to default settings.
Reset quotes will reload the currency quotes.
Menu
Toggle conversion: shows and hides the conversion.
Open quotes page: shows a page with all currency quotes sorted by value or name.
Open test page: shows a page with several price examples, to verify that conversion works.

About
DCC was originally created in 2014 as a remake of the Firefox add-on Simple Currency Converter. Later it was ported to work in SeaMonkey, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Edge browsers. Since Mozilla abandoned its own API to use the Chrome API instead, the Chrome version became the master branch. Originally the currency quotes were fetched from Yahoo!. They closed their API, that was never meant to be used by outsiders, so DCC switched to the limited ECB quotes, and Currencylayer to cover most currencies.

- (2023-10-05) Титан Первый: Just not working. Coverts any currecny to "Unknown" text
- (2022-12-05) Andre Greeff: The extension settings and popup overlay really don't look very "professional", but I greatly appreciate the minimal page integration logic.. it has no unnecessary fluff and it "Just Works". :)
- (2022-07-31) Faina Iasen: Can't select source currency, it just shows this message - (Drag and drop currencies to reorder them. If an ambiguous currency such as "kroner" (could be DKK or NOK) is found, it is converted to the first possible currency in the list.) - but there's no list! And it doesn't detect anything and doesn't convert anything, not even Amazon or eBay.
- (2021-10-30) Zenith Manuel: Very useful and convenient.
- (2020-12-25) Theódór Ágúst Magnússon: The 6th one I tried, others did not work.. this one does!
- (2020-08-26) Ze6rah: Would be beter with an option to not modify the page but convert in a tooltip
- (2020-07-15) Claire Crowles: Rearranging source currencies doesn't work, it resets the order even though I clicked save. So it keeps misidentifying USD as AUD.
- (2019-06-08) Med Gorrab: Works well for the very first days, then I need to reinstall and configure it again EVERY SINGLE TIME in a few days...
- (2019-05-10) Паша «Альма» Каптановская: very useful. but it is very damned when it changes the <code> elements which often have $0 $1 $2 or other dollar sign text. it must have option to exclude elements.
- (2019-04-14) The Tech Train: Doesn't work at all
- (2019-03-09) Yura Moshnin: Настройки- чёрт ногу сломит! Ничего не понятно
- (2019-03-06) Daniel Cunningham: Useless to me - just a list of exchange rates - not including the currency I need to convert - and does not make the conversion. Who needs it?
- (2018-11-05) A: The only one I have tried that works. It is very smooth and fast. Only issue is that it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing extension, but that's not much of an issue.
- (2018-11-01) Ben Doucette: Seems to be converting currencies in CAD to CAD at a higher rate???
- (2018-10-18) Андрей Карезин: Иногда конвертирует так: более 113 258 RUB (1 37 753 RUB (500 евро)) начинается от 37 753 RUB (##__##) Оригинал: более 1500 евро начинается от 500 евро https://visasam.ru/emigration/rabota/srednya-zarplata-v-chehii.html
- (2018-09-13) Wong Keng Leong (KL): Works well. If can update the UI, it would be better. Current UI seems like stuck in the 90's.
- (2018-08-13) Igor Majer: Excellent application. Working great!
- (2018-06-28) Adrià Rico Blanes (kikones34): Very useful! But I'd suggest adding an option to disable the conversion inside text boxes, so that they don't get replaced while you're typing.
- (2018-06-26) Eric Gelite: great! works very well
- (2018-04-27) Sreekumar Sasi: This is the only converter working now!
- (2018-04-16) Abbas Ali (hallbird): Hi, your plugin essential to me, however I have notice it stopped change currency for me. even when am going for option page not displayed properly, I cannot scroll ...
- (2018-04-05) Osvaldo Andreaus (DBB): Tried about 5 different extensions and this one works flawlessly!
- (2018-03-07) Chisangu Matome: The extension no longer works correctly for Zambian Kwacha ZMW
- (2018-02-28) Abgr Xenda: Currency Rates are 100% wrong against KWD

- (2017-08-07) Toàn Kiều Quang: Good job! Thank you! Chạy tốt, cảm ơn tác giả!
- (2017-08-07) Cω Tham: This was pretty good, though despite currency stated AUD$, yet it still go through the conversion based on sorting, which is USD for me. It made webpage loading tremendously slow.
