Personally I don't like to convert the prices from whatever currency to a currency I'm familiar with every time I open the site. This extension saves the currency you set and restores it when you open the site. ## Map view of the search page The property cards are not links, so you can't open them in a new tab only in the current tab. Then when you go back the map is reset and you have to reposition it and zoom in again. This doesn't happen when you open the property in a new tab. ## Image gallery Hostelworld does not load the next and previous images until you open them. This produces a glitch when you navigate to an image that is not loaded: the current image won't disappear until the new image is loaded giving you the feeling that the image is stuck. Hostelworld forces you to click on those small arrows to navigate between images. ## Closing dialogs and overlays Hostelworld forces you to click on those small close button to close dialogs and overlays.
