[QUOTE="Tutman, post: 928495, member: 87079"] I am using it and love it. Shows the ip and flag of country a web page is located by default at a glance. You can right click and get whois netcraft viruscan and much more built in. I already added custom filter for WOT look up also. [URL unfurl="true"]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flagfox/[/URL] Flagfox is an extension that displays a flag icon indicating the current webserver's physical location. Knowing where you're connected to adds an extra layer of awareness to your browsing and can be useful to indicate the native languages and legal jurisdictions that may apply. Additional information can be obtained via a multitude of external lookups and users can add their own custom actions. All actions can be added to the flag icon's context menu and set to icon click or keyboard shortcuts for quick access. Clicking the flag icon loads our default action, Geotool, which gives a detailed map showing the city the server is in and other useful information such as its local time and ISP. Many other actions are available for a wide range of uses such as: [LIST] [*]Site safety and malware checks [*]Finding similar sites and reviews [*]Automatic translation to your language [*]SEO and web development research [*]Diagnostics like pings and traceroutes [*]Whois and DNS information [*]Page code validation [*]Quick URL shortening [*]Copying a server's IP address or other info [*]or you can create your own custom actions!
