Jeremiah Johnson (ID: 000000904aa09798) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/07/2017 Doesn't really ping. Just tcp connect.

Rado N (ID: 0000001fdda98555) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/26/2016 Not a bad idea for such a tool but it's also useless because it pings websites not from a local source but from another location. For instance, I'm from Bulgaria and Google.bg (bg is Bulgarian domain) server is located a few blocks from me which pinged through CMD returns less than 1 milisecond ping. However, according to this addon "my" ping to Google.bg is 469 ms - which means this addon pings from the other side of the world thus making the results useless and incorrect.
