    This extension encourage the use of non-metric units, and it looks like it's running a huge regular expression on every DOM node with text content for every page: https://github.com/m1l/Everything-Metric-Firefox/blob/master/contentscript.js https://github.com/m1l/Everything-Metric-Firefox/blob/master... I prefer to do a quick conversion and tell the others.

  The article says more than 100 miles, that's 1 significant figure, and likely somewhere in the 100-120 mile range. More than 160km is the appropriate conversion, and indeed what the article says, it's likely 160-200km. If I say it's 50km to somewhere, an appropriate conversion would be 30 miles, not 31.07 miles.

    No one cares about sig figs in mechanical engineering, which is what this is closest to. They only really matter in chemistry.
