## Description

SixIndicator is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to visually indicate whether a website is accessed via IPv6 or IPv4. A simple icon appears in the browser toolbar, allowing users to quickly determine the IP protocol used for requests on the current site. Clicking the icon expands detailed information, including the number of requests made per domain and whether each was served over IPv6 or IPv4. This tool is especially useful for network administrators, developers, or anyone interested in monitoring their internet traffic at a glance. SixIndicator provides seamless insight without overwhelming the user, helping improve understanding of network behaviors directly from the browser.
