BTC Ticker
Description from store

Displays the current Bitcoin price in your selected currency, pulled from your choice of a few exchanges. The price updates every 5 minutes.

NOTE: There is currently an issue with the Coinbase API, I would suggest using a different option for now until this issue can be resolved.

Exchange choices:
-bitstamp
-coinbase
-coinbase pro
-kraken

Release notes:

Update 1.5.4:
- Support BTC price > $100k!

Update 1.5.3:
- Revert text color change from white back to black. In a future update soon I will add the ability to select background and text color.

Update 1.5.2:
- Recover from idle state (sleep or hibernate)

Update 1.5.1:
- Fixed extension not automatically initializing on browser startup

Update 1.5.0:
- Switch to Manifest v3
- Removed inline jQuery
- Changed update interval to 29 seconds (down from 5 minutes, due to manifest v3 limitation)

Update 1.4.9: Fix broken badge background color

Update 1.4.8: Fix manifest permissions

Update 1.4.7: Fixed manifest file permissions and coinbase pro bug.

Update 1.4.6: Fixed coinbase since they changed their api. Removed btc-e and gdax, added coinbase pro.

Update 1.4.5: Added units to options, so you can display price in mBTC, uBTC, and sat.

Update 1.4.4: Corrected display from 1k to 10k properly. I guess I was in disbelief that it was actually 10k :)

Update 1.4.3: Fixed four digit numbers to still work how they used to.

Update 1.4.2: Added a precision option so you can adjust the display for what works for your machine.

Update 1.4.1: Added support for more than 4 characters, basically now if the number would go >9999 it converts to 1.0k (or 1.1k, 1.2k, etc.) This is about the best I can do given the limitations of the chrome extension api. Also added support for CAD on coinbase, and changed coinbase-exchange to gdax.

Update 1.4.0: Added two new exchanges (coinbase exchange and kraken) and also added the ability to switch currencies (USD and EUR). Also removed mtgox.

Update 1.3.0: Added an options page to choose which exchange to pull ticker data from. (Note: Due to this change there are new permissions, so you will need to re-enable the extension and accept these.)

Update 1.2.1: Updated to mtgox api 2, removed no cache, as it looks like it was being blocked on mtgox's end.

Update 1.2: Added no cache directive so the value should always be the latest. Some users were experiencing the data not updating as often as it should because their browser was caching it.

Update 1.1.1: Changed to use https for mtgox api.

Update 1.1: You can now click the icon to manually update the current price. Be warned, doing this too often (like many times in a few seconds) could get your ip blocked.

1.0: Initial release.

Great addon, thank you! However, when I select precision 2, the BTC price is not fully visible. It would be beneficial to add features like alerts and the ability to show the TradingView BTC chart when clicking on the icon.
James Greene
amazing. it would be great if u add PERPETUAL BTC price in options since spot and perp prices have difference most of times

This extension is pretty good and updates fast with Coinbase. I wish it could have been built with a wider blue window that shows the 3 last decimals.

One problem: Only first two characters in the price show up. Also, it would be nice if clicking on the extension took you to a site that had prices and charts.

The numbers are getting too small (or the price is too high :))
