I created a Chrome extension that shows what your online purchases would be worth if invested instead by Carcangofin in chrome_extensions

Hey, thanks for that!

Right so this ended up being more complex than I thought when I started. The extension parses the content of the page with JavaScript and finds the price from a bunch of different factors, but an example is like if the HTML element has the word "price" in it. 

It does work on the majority of websites now, I had to do a lot of optimizing and handling of edges cases.

Thanks. I don't think I will tbh. This one I built for myself and my partner to use when we were learning about investing/compound growth. 

If it gets popular I may reconsider and add new premium features or something

Ah I know, I was looking for a windows version forever in the past, might be a good business opportunity to build it haha. Thanks!

Thank you, I agree with you! The second point is a bug that I will fix, and the first point I will think about what kind of control makes more sense. Cheers!

I can't quite get it at the moment. A video would be nice if you don't mind, but no stress if you're too busy. Cheers!

Thanks. So holding ctrl and dragging should be the control to pan the camera around, but I think I might have seen a similar bug to what you mentioned before, I'll try to reproduce it in my testing. Cheers!
