Features & Capabilities

Infrastructure Overlay is a browser extension that reveals the physical and ecological infrastructure behind the websites you visit.

Each time you load a page, a subtle overlay appears in the corner of your browser. It displays:

The real-world server location of the domain
A fact-based geographic and energy context
A poetic reflection on the site's material footprint

This extension draws from verified data and regional infrastructure details to make the internet's hidden geography visible — not through statistics, but through grounded, evocative language.

No data is collected. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Part of the ongoing project “What the Mineral Forgets” by Davey Whitcraft.

Is Infrastructure Overlay Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Infrastructure Overlay requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Infrastructure Overlay is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
