Summary
Implement a built-in feature that automatically detects currency values in web content, offers real-time conversions to the user’s local currency, and provides contextual actions such as translation and web search—all accessible from a single menu.
Detailed Description
Automatic Currency Recognition
When a user highlights or hovers over text containing a currency amount (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP), the browser should detect it and display the equivalent amount in the user’s default or preferred local currency.
Contextual Menu Integration
Alongside the converted amount, the context menu should offer additional options like “Translate,” “Search,” “Copy,” and “Explore more,” reducing the need to open new tabs or external tools.
Real-Time Exchange Rates
Use an external or built-in currency exchange API to provide accurate, up-to-date conversions. The browser should handle potential fluctuations by periodically refreshing exchange rate data.
User-Friendly UI
Present the converted amount in a tooltip or an unobtrusive pop-up so that users can quickly see the result without disrupting their reading or browsing flow.
Customizable Settings
Allow users to enable or disable automatic currency detection, choose their default currency, and set preferences for how and where conversions are displayed.
Benefits
Implementation Considerations
Ensure privacy and security by handling all API calls securely and transparently.
Optimize for minimal performance impact by caching exchange rates and updating them at sensible intervals.
By integrating this feature, the new browser can significantly enhance usability and create a more seamless, user-centric browsing experience.
