To use this extension(while I find the money to get a developer account):
- Download all the files and put them all in a single folder named "converter"
- Open Chrome or a new tab, then go the the extension page (http://chrome://extensions) or from the options at the far right, go to more tools and then extensions.
- Enable developer mode by clicking the toggle button on the top right
- Drag the folder to this page and it will automatically be added to your browser extensions.
- Enable and the blue icon will appear next to the address icon
- Use on any page that has dollar prices and they'd become Naira prices :). (try https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=nav_cs_gb)
or:
- click on the "load unpacked extension" button
- Navigate to the converter folder and select it
- Use on any page that has dollar prices and they'd become Naira prices :). (try https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=nav_cs_gb)
