In plain English

This is a Chrome and Comet browser extension for the food and grocery delivery site Wolt. When you open a category page on wolt.com or one of its regional sites, the extension reads every product on the page, figures out the price per unit such as per kilogram, per liter, or per piece, and stamps that number as a small badge onto each product card. It handles prices and quantities written in different local formats, such as 68,90 Kc or 5.99 euros, and amounts like 500 grams, 1.5 liters, or multipacks of several items. It converts everything to a common unit like kilograms, liters, or pieces so items can be fairly compared, and it prefers Wolt's own per-unit label when the site already shows one. After calculating values, the extension reorders the visible product cards so the cheapest per unit items appear first, with items that have no clear unit sinking to the bottom. It waits until you stop scrolling before re-sorting, so the page does not jump around while you are actively scrolling. A small popup lets you turn the sorting on or off and switch between light and dark themes, and the toolbar icon only lights up when you are on a Wolt page. Reordering the cards does not break Wolt's own features, adding items to your cart and opening the product info popup both keep working normally. To install it, you load the folder as an unpacked extension through Chrome's developer mode. The project notes that Wolt's page structure could change at any time, which may require updating the detection logic, and turning the toggle off restores the page to its original order and removes the badges.
