Fiat Currencies

There are currently 19 supported fiat currencies. If you'd like a specific currency added, please submit an issue or feel free to submit a merge request.

Distraction Free Mode

It's probably not healthy to have cryptocurrency prices in front of you 24/7. Distraction Free Mode will prevent krypto from displaying prices for a certain amount of time that you specify. Default value is 10 minutes. Prices will continue to be updated in the background and you still have access to the calculator. ;)

Configure number of currencies displayed in the Top Bar

Limit how many currencies are shown in the top bar. Currencies that aren't shown in the Top Bar are displayed in the popup menu.

Update Interval

Change how frequently you'd like the prices to refresh. Minimum value is 30 seconds.

Delimiter

Change the delimiter that separates the currencies in the top bar.

Update

If you want to update the extension, install it by following the process above. Your settings will be preserved (excluding any deprecated options). You may need to restart your session for changes to appear.
