About Web Browsers Summary:

"Flagfox is a Firefox add-on that provides instant access to a website's server information. A small flag denoting the server's country of origin is automatically displayed in the bottom right hand corner of your browser window. Right-clicking on said flag presents a context menu giving you the option to look up the site's host server in Geotool or Whois. Also included in the menu is a link to the host country's Wikipedia page as well as an option to copy the site's IP address to the clipboard."

Publisher's Description:

"Flagfox is an extension for Mozilla Firefox that shows a flag icon in the status bar indicating the current website's server location. It uses relatively little resources, and works by accessing an IP address database contained within the extension rather than relying on top-level-domain roots like ".com" or ".uk". Clicking the icon loads Geotool, which provides a map of the location as well as more information such as the ISP and city. The context menu also provides quick access to information about the country of origin, as well as the ability to lookup the site's registrant via Whois."
