Reddit Unit Converter

A userscript to automatically convert lbs to kg or vice versa, specifically made for Reddit. It currently replaces with a regular expression any matches with a number followed by lbs or pounds into a converted number followed by a space and kg.

Customizing the script

• Reverse mode: Modify the const reverseConverter to true to convert kg to lbs instead.

• Precise rounding: Modify the const round to true to round the results with 2 digits.

• Limiting the script to specific subs: Modify the match tag at the top to something like *://*.reddit.com/r/Brogress/* to only use it on your preferred subreddits. Just keep adding match tags for every subreddit you want to use it on.

• Automatic updating for RES scrolling: Units won't be automatically converted when auto-scrolling with RES unless updateForRES is activated. This is disabled by default as it consumes more resources and it can cause errors with other extensions like Imagus.
