Oil Standard is a web browser plug-in that converts all prices from U.S. Dollars into the equivalent value in barrels of crude oil.
When you load a web page, the script seamlessly inserts converted prices into the page. As the cost of oil fluctuates on the commodities exchange, prices rise and fall in real-time.
Known Issues: When the script ecounters multiple instances of 'millions' or 'billions' it neglects every other suffix.
Future Improvements (in my ideal world I would have time to): Add multiple currencies (e.g. Euro, GBP, Yuan, etc)
