Reviews for IPvFoo
IPvFoo by Paul Marks
Review by Tim
Rated 5 out of 5
by Tim, 10 months agoFor those worried about "Access your data for all websites", this is an unavoidable problem with addon permission scopes. Put by the purported (likely?) author on a forum:
> IPvFoo author here. The problem is that there's no way to obtain the (hostname, ip) stream from Chrome/Firefox without requesting the "all websites" permission.
> In theory, browser vendors could define a narrowly-scoped permission that only reports (hostname, ip), or roll this functionality into the browser UI, but neither seems likely to happen.
> I made IPvFoo to promote IPv6 adoption, and wouldn't consider selling it for less than $10M USD. It probably won't ever be worth that much because it's an easily-cloned utility without a "moat", but it's more rational to set a price than refuse to sell under any circumstances.
The addon is open source, and if you insisted, could be built/installed manually. However, I trust it for now from here on AMO.
UPDATE: Thanks for confirming, Paul!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Abdul Rauf, 4 years agoThis should be the recommended extension by firefox. Source code is available at https://github.com/pmarks-net/ipvfoo so I think this can be trusted after review
