A newly-released browser extension could have significant potential for the adoption and promotion of Bitcoin. Get Used to Bitcoin converts all prices on webpages into a BTC amount.
Browser software is gradually being developed to adapt to the growth of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. A plug-in was recently released that allows Lightning Network users to more easily run a full Bitcoin node, and the Brave browser has been specifically designed to disrupt the monetizing of online content with its own proprietary crypto token, Basic Attention Token (BAT).

The Get Used to Bitcoin browser extension may not have a huge impact in itself, and it may have limited appeal outside the crypto space, but it is a useful innovation that could show other developers how to integrate the crypto space with the mainstream online eco-system. Designed by Shaine Kennedy, the extension is available for Google Chrome as well as Mozilla Firefox.
