Maltasupermarket.com Web Extension

Maltasupermarket.com provides a handy price per unit value for each product on their site but unfortunately they do not provide the ability to search by this value. This Web Extension gives the website this ability.

price per unit values

How does it work?

The extension dynamically injects a new sort by option called "Price: Lowest per Unit first" within the sort by dropdown. Once clicked, the extension will go through all the visible products, sorts them, then replaces the products with their sorted counterpart.

Once slected the sort setting will be peristed throughout any navigation done through the site until a native sort by option is selected.
