Extension summary

An extension that allows you to quickly lookup important WHOIS information about the site you are on. This displays relevant WHOIS information in the extension popup, it is NOT simply a bookmark to another site where you can look it up. Useful for doing a quick check of the registrar, expiration dates, and/or nameservers of the current domain.

Type "whois" and then a domain name in the Omnibox for another shortcut to a quick WHOIS lookup.

User reviews

EDIT: Extension has stopped working and has been that way for months :/ Not too shabby. My old whois extension disappeared and this seems to fill the gap nicely. One suggestion is that the entire whois information should be shown in that tab, not a big fan of needing to open a new tab.

Works better than what I've found so far.

Works just as expected! Quick and easy to read, actually shows the info in the browser rather than just a redirect.
