User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: users generally appreciate IP Geolocator for its useful features (DNS leak check, IP change notifications) and open-source nature, and many reviews confirm it works well when functioning. However, reliability is a major concern, with frequent network errors and instability reported after Firefox updates. Another common issue is outdated or inaccurate geolocation data, and several reviewers feel the project isn’t actively maintained. Nevertheless, the add-on remains valued for VPN use, cross-browser potential, and its lightweight, permission-free design when it runs smoothly.

Pros

Generally works well and is reliable when it functions properly.
Includes a DNS leak check feature.
Open-source with no permissions required, which builds trust.
Useful for VPN users to verify the current country IP is in use.
IP change notifications are a helpful feature.

Cons

Frequent network errors / instability, often after Firefox updates.
Geolocation data can be outdated or inaccurate.
Lack of ongoing maintenance / updates is evident.

Recent reviews

However, the add-on works great. * It sends HTTP requests every three seconds. * It puts a strain on the CPU, especially on my laptop, resulting in much worse battery life. I have no idea how it could be improved, but I had to disable it.

Is IP Geolocator 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.

IP Geolocator requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

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.

IP Geolocator has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
