Yet Another Flags Extension

✨ If you want to see a precise location for a domain — country, city, state — displayed with a pixel-perfect country flag icon, try this one!

📝 Extension shows a country flag for the site opened in the current tab.
It also indicates the precise IP address, city, region, and country name in the icon hint and in the popup.

📍 Precision is achieved with Google's free DNS-over-HTTPS service.
Country, city, region and post code data is served by the backend that I run at 🔐 https://geoip.furman.im.

🥬 GeoLite2 database created by MaxMind available from maxmind.com is updated twice a week – on Tuesdays and Fridays, so backend always returns fresh locations.

💻 Geographical data is cached locally for a week, so minimal additional requests are made. You can always refresh the data in the popup.

🙅‍♀️ Extension does not collect any user data, nor does it track or identify users in any way. And never will. The same applies to the backend service.

🚩 Extension uses excellent \"Flags of the World\" icons by Mark James (of famfamfam.com fame). Flags are ISO 3166 compliant, so please let me know if some country has the wrong flag displayed.

🟢 May 3, 2023
🌚 Dark mode support.

🟢 April 20, 2023
🆕 Display resolution 🕙 timestamp in the IP address hint in the popup. Hover the mouse cursor over the IP address and wait for the hint to appear.

🟢 April 17, 2023
🆕 Display loading and error states in the page action icon — no more guessing if the data is being loaded or resolution has failed — the icon provides visual feedback right away.

🟢 April 2, 2023
🆕 Support local DNS resolutions — flags are displayed much more accurately, considering user region.

🟢 February 3, 2023
🎉 Extension is back into active maintenance mode.

🟡 May 21–June 1, 2022
🚚 Hosting provider migrating to new cloud, backend downtime

Illia Furman (ID: 0000006ae2abdb40) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2024 👾👾👾 Update Jan 31 2023 For all of you who are still here – thank you for your patience and support, I'm glad to inform y'all — extension is back 🎉 This brings daily geoip db updates (working already), better icons (working already, hope you noticed 😅), regular release cycle (if only not for long store reviews). Please excuse my clumsiness with `localhost/*` permissions request, entirely unnecessary 🙏🏼 Next update 1.0.8 solves this problem forever, now extension doesn't need host permissions at all, thanks to a bit smarter server side. And 1.0.9, current pending update switches 🔐 HTTPS between the extension and it's back end. 👉 https://geoip.furman.im/ check this out, now it shows most recent database information I reviewed the feedback and answered what needed answering. Everything else now basically should be fixed, or will be fixed automatically when maxmind fixes this or that range info. People asked about > IPv6 support Technically it could be added, maxmind and dns can do it. Can't imagine how to test this sensibly tho, I barely have seen ipv6 addresses in the wild in all those years. > HTTPS for extension ↔ server And done! Since 1.0.9 all communication happens securely 🔐. Really glad that this thingy works for someone but myself, thank you all again 🙇🏻‍♂️

The Darkest Smurf (ID: 000000ef45ec6f24) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/16/2022 This extension is virtually useless now. It hasn't been updated in 5 years and for half the websites I visit, even popular ones, the extension doesn't display a flag at all. For the other half the flags are wrong quite often. Moving on to greener pastures.
