Good job, I love it! A suggestion: add some network aware features, like GeoIP, IP/domain whois, etc. They'd have to call some external API's, but they'd fit right in.

I am sure there are people who would no long trust it to calculate cryptographic hashes and ensure their security if the plugin had internet access.

This is incredibly useful, thank you! There have been far too many times when I've found myself googling for online base64 encodes, timestamp conversions and basically everything else in this tool.

Fantastic work, thanks once more!

Agreed! This is highly useful :) Nicely implemented too!

I like the function but why is it a browser extension?

If it's open source, maybe so that people can make sure nobody messes with their hashes ? ;-)

Maybe so that it's always at your fingertips, figuratively speaking? I like that now I won't have to open a new tab and search for an online base64 converter, for example.
