About Metric Beyond
This project started after my players were concerned that because of imperial units they had a difficult time judging distances during our games. I searched around and found only one extension funnily named Beyond Metric but it was not maintained and was only available on Chrome. So for the pleasure of my players and you, dear reader, thus was created Metric Beyond. I will maintain it as long as I have the time and can pay the Apple Developer license.

Can you add support for my favorite browser?
Maybe! Send me an email at metricbeyond@gmail.com or add an issue to this repository (if you know how to), and I'll see what I can do.
