Since Android has this popup feature, I don't understand why Google has not implemented it in Chromium already. I know the basic Android implementation has no converter function, but it's extensible, so it could have been done with desktop browsers as well. -
Really missing this now that I moved to Vivaldi from Opera, was one of the best features for me
-
in the meantime you can use https://www.convertworld.com/ as a panel, which is very very extensive
-
@Yukora Same here. Really wish there some similar options in Vivialdi to get that feature. It was easily the most used feature by me in Opera. And now that I've switched, I didn't realize how much I used it, till it was gone.
Kind of a bummer.
Really hoping to see something like it added to Vivialdi soon.

I came from Opera too. This is the only feature I miss. I loved having the measurement conversions and used it all the time.

@stardepp I'm working on Linux. I don't have it, so I have to download external app or search online. Converting one value can last up to 10-15 seconds. Using Opera, it takes only a second. So, I think this small feature would improve general usage.
Today's browser is not just for searching web. It's app for almost everything.

@rluik said in Quick Unit Converter (currency, time zone, temp scales, measurements oz, cm, etc):
The implementation by Opera in the Search | Copy pop-up seems to be the fastest one.
I'm glad to see that Opera's at least somewhat returned to her roots, is coming out with good new features. Here's the Opera blog post, where they introduce the currency converter. And here's the page in the Opera help files about the converter.

Actually forgot about this thread...
But I found an extension that basically adds the same functionality back. Check it out here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/selecton-ā-selection-tool/pemdbnndbdpbelmfcddaihdihdfmnadi
It both looks and feels like the same thing I'm used to from Opera.

This is the tool I've missed most from Opera. Here is a link to Opera's implementation as it's easier to see than describe.

@Yukora Same here. Need it badly!

I created browser extension which shows copy/search popup with support for unit and currency conversion:

To add to the suggestion:
Maybe they could the User could add their own Units (like Robux, points, etc.) and select websites where to count them as actual units.
That could be a handy feature. -

I definitely support this request, I read a lot on UK or US websites where they use weird(imperial) system and I need lots of conversions between feet, stones, hands, Fahrenheits to metric, or currency conversions. I believe the same is valid vice-versa. Simple selection of the text and immediate conversion like in opera is the feature i miss the most.
