This app provides a converter that can calculate the heating time according to the wattage of your microwave oven, or you can also use a chart to quickly check the heating time. The supported wattage ranges from 100W to 3000W in 10-watts increments, and the supported heating time from 10 seconds to 30 minutes. The previously entered values when you close the app are automatically retained, so you don't have to re-enter the wattage you use frequently. *The heating time calculated by this application is only a guide. The actual heating time depends on the model of the microwave oven, the condition of the food or drink, and the difference in wattage between before and after conversion. The developer assumes no responsibility or liability for any problems or damages caused by using this application.

uBO Lite (uBOL) is a reliable and efficient content blocker. The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset: - uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists - EasyList - EasyPrivacy - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page -- click the _Cogs_ icon in the popup panel. uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required _only_ when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
