Features & Capabilities

"IPvFoo" is a unique Firefox extension designed to raise awareness about the global IPv4 to IPv6 transition by displaying server IP address in real time. It also provides an overview of IPv4, IPv6, and HTTPS information for all page elements. Respectful of user privacy, IPvFoo keeps data in RAM and operates in read-only mode on the network. The add-on features a red 4 or green 6 icon to differentiate between the IPv4 and IPv6 fetched pages. Additional features include a detailed table for each domain, WebSocket handshake and Service Worker data fetching indicators, and a right-click option for address lookup.

Is IPvFoo moved to /addon/ipvfoo/ 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.

IPvFoo moved to /addon/ipvfoo/ 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.

IPvFoo moved to /addon/ipvfoo/ may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
