User reviews

Users appreciate the extension for its quick and simple display of IP addresses and geolocation, especially helpful for VPN users. It uniquely shows location info on the icon, aiding transparency. However, multiple reviews report persistent issues such as frequent 'ERR' errors on the icon, occasional incorrect or missing flag displays, and failures after updates. Users desire more customization options and better reliability. Despite these shortcomings, many find it the best available extension for geolocation needs on Chrome.

Pros

Provides quick and clear display of the IP address and geolocation information directly on the extension icon without requiring additional clicks.
Useful for users who frequently use VPNs or proxies to verify their current IP and location, enhancing transparency.
Simple, lightweight, and easy to use with intuitive information display such as country flags and IP details.
Auto notification feature alerts users when there is a change in their IP address.
Works on multiple devices and helps detect IP leaks effectively.

Cons

The extension often displays an 'ERR' error on the icon, which is confusing and reduces reliability.
Geolocation information sometimes shows incorrect country or flag mismatches, especially after recent updates or when using certain VPN servers, causing frustration.
Lack of customization options such as the ability to disable text on the flag or adjust refresh intervals.
No exact pinpointing of server location on maps; only general city and country data is shown.
Some users reported that the extension stops notifying of IP changes or stops working completely after updates or on certain Chrome versions.

Works and simple, informative. Suggested to let people know what network port need to use for this plugin since people in workplace might found it blocked by IT department. They might blame you for plugin not working :)
