## Description

The Show-My-IP Chrome extension provides a simple and quick way to view your public IP address right from your browser toolbar, eliminating the need to visit external websites like https://www.whatismyip.com/. This efficient add-on is open source, assuring users about privacy and transparency with the source code freely accessible on GitHub.

While the extension requires access to a third-party API (https://twin.sh/api/v1/ip) to fetch your public IP address, it does not store or save any user information. A fallback API (http://ip-api.com) is used to ensure reliability if the primary service goes down. Show-My-IP combines ease-of-use with privacy-conscious design, making it a handy tool for anyone needing quick IP info without extra navigation or concerns about data security.
