IPvFoo: Monitor IP Address Connections Easily

"IPvFoo" is a Chrome extension that helps users monitor the IP addresses used by web pages. It adds a toolbar icon indicating whether the page was loaded over IPv4 or IPv6, and provides a detailed table of hostnames and their statuses upon clicking the icon. With a focus on privacy, it operates without ads by keeping all data in RAM and treating the network as read-only. Its goal is to raise awareness of the IPv4 to IPv6 transition while providing convenient IP address lookup features.

I have a question: what does it mean if the main address field simply says "(no address)" but the site comes up and displays fine?
