## Review summary

Users appreciate the add-on for diagnosing DNS issues and its clean interface. However, multiple reviews highlight that it does not always display the true IP address the browser connects to, especially when hosts file overrides or other network configurations are in place. This limits its usefulness for some users. Overall, it is a helpful tool for IP lookup but has accuracy limitations regarding the actual connection endpoint.

### Pros

- Useful for diagnosing DNS issues and verifying Firefox's compliance with system configuration.
- Interface is clean and works fine.
- Provides IP lookup functionality directly in the browser.

### Cons

- Does not always show the actual IP address the browser is connected to, only the DNS-resolved IP.
- Inaccuracy in IP display when hosts file or other factors change the actual connection IP.
- Reported instances where the add-on doesn't work as expected.
