  • If you want, you can also reverse the setting and show the converted currency or unit on the page. The original value will then be shown whenever you place your mouse over the highlighted value.
  • If you do not want to autoConvert to act on specific sites or pages, just add those pages to whitelist and you’re done.

It’s that simple.
