Description from store
I made this extension to raise everyday awareness of the global IPv4 to IPv6 transition. To respect your privacy, it keeps data in RAM and treats the network as read-only. I can maintain this without ads because there are no server costs.
IPvFoo's action icon shows a large red 4 or green 6 to indicate whether the outer page was fetched using IPv4 or IPv6. If the page connects to other domains, a smaller 4 or 6 appears alongside.
When you click the icon, a table appears with a row for each domain:
- A padlock icon for http://, https://, or a mix of both.
- The IPv4 or IPv6 address. If connections span more than one address, the most recent one wins. The address is highlighted in yellow while connections are open.
- "⭮" for cached requests. The IP address may be stale if no connection was made.
- "S" for WebSocket handshakes. The connection may still be active even if the address is not highlighted.
- "W" if data was fetched through a Service Worker. These requests are linked to an origin (e.g. https://example.com/) instead of a tabId, so the same request may appear in multiple tabs.
Clicking on a hostname or address will select it for convenient copying. There is a right-click option to look up addresses on bgp.he.net. I'm not affiliated, it's just my favorite service.
Hostnames longer than 50 characters are truncated in the middle to save space. You can click the (...) to expand, but the full text remains available for copying regardless.

- (2020-07-15) Germán Galera: I love this ext but there is a unexpecting behaviour happened, when i accesed to a web Ipvfoo gives me more results in one OS (xp old chrome) than in Win7 (new chrome). In XP when I go to larazon_es show me 39 results but same web in win7 shows just 31 and in win7 virtualmachine even a lot less. Why that happend??
- (2020-01-08) Ryan Brady: I love this browser extension however the only issue I see is that recently it has stopped working on Chrome Dev on MacOS Catalina -- every website shows the generic white "IPvFoo" icon instead of the "6" or "4". Extension works great with Chrome Dev on windows 10 so i'm not sure what has changed.
- (2019-12-21) JW Smythe: This is an amazingly useful extension for those of us trying to get up on IPv6. I brought up a HE.net tunnel for this LAN, and got IPs assigned to all the local devices. I didn't see a really good way to see which sites are IPv6, and the extent of their use. I'm impressed seeing how many organizations are up now. Not too long ago, it was rare at best. My ISP still doesn't support IPv6, but the HE tunnel lets me. The connection chart is nice, so I can see the extent of the site's implementation.

- (2019-02-07) Easy way to view all the domains used by a whitelisted website so you can add those domains to the whitelist too so the website will work correctly on a parent-filtered system.

- (2018-09-09) Georgi Stoyanov: It's an awesome extension. There is however an issue with the new Chrome 69 where after a while the icon reverts back to the default IPvFoo image instead of showing 4 or 6 and you need to reload the website to get it to show properly.

- (2016-12-02) Mark Young: I'm not a developer, just someone interested in seeing IPv6 penetration. IPvFoo is great for seeing not just the main page but the components are or are not using IPv6. (Bad news: as of this writing, almost every site I use is either IPv4-only or has an IPv4-only component, and that's even after filtering out most advertisements via AdBlock Plus.)
- (2016-11-11) curt: Good.
- (2016-11-11) Davide Lima Duarte Daum: One of the few extension that report the ip of the site during the connection and not a resolution made by someone else.
- (2016-10-09) Chip Marshall: As a network engineer, I find this very helpful for seeing what IP version various sites are using.

- (2019-04-20, v:1.43) C Gregory: IPv6 and domain move
I run a whm/cpanel vps. A few months ago, when I got a ipv6 modem from my isp, I set up one domain for IPv6. It worked great and my browser was showing me all 6s for that domain. This past week I deployed a new server and cpmoved all accounts to the new server. Now all accounts are showing IPv6 in IPvFoo, yea! Except for the one account that was setup with IPv6 on the old server. I've checked the zone files, the connection and all is good and even from my laptop, it's all green. The problem is my working pc, it's not green, like it use to be, it's a big red 4. I've tried deleting and reinstalling IPvFoo but I'm still showing a 4, even though my server team says they're getting 6, and my own laptop is getting a 6. Any ideas? - (2018-10-09, v:1.43) ben k: Chrome shuts down when closing incognito window connected to Facebook
Launch a Chrome incognito window and browse to Instagram or Facebook. Wait for the page to load then close the incognito window. Chrome will shut down abnormally. This is seen on a Asus C202 and Acer X720P chromebook - (2018-09-23, v:1.43) curt: The fonts are huge.
Sure I can change font size by browser font setting, but then the browser ui font is too small. Please add in an option to change font size. Thanks. - (2018-07-09, v:1.42) Prudhvee Nalluri: Feature request, GeoIP flags
I would like to request geoIP flags along with IP addresses - (2017-09-25, v:1.41) Jonas Rathert: Permissions
It seems the extension ask for permission to "read and change all your data on the websites you visit". What exactly does this mean - what is it good/necessary for? - (2017-06-13, v:1.37) Hakan ATAÇ: Proxy
When using any proxy it shows proxy ip instead of the site ip. I'm not sure but is there any workaround? Because as far as I know when using proxy, browser asks everything through proxy so it seems inevitable that ip addresses return is proxy address instead of real site address. - (2017-04-04, v:1.37) Chrome crashes
When I click to see IP Address, Chrome is crashing and Mac restarting for some reason - (2016-06-05, v:1.35) Matthew Shapiro: "Access Denied"
The extension just appears as a "?" symbol now. If I click on it to view the sites from which assets are loaded I get "Access Denied" in the column where IP addresses used to display. - (2016-03-20, v:1.32) Aleksandar Urošević: IP in Tooltip
Thank you for best IP extension for Chrome! It's lightweight and super fast. Will be good to add site IP as icon tool-tip instead IPvFoo name of extension (when we hover over icon). - (2016-03-05, v:1.32) Josh Peters: Removal from the address bar
I recently noticed that IPvFoo now displays its icon in the extension bar, instead of the address bar. Is this changeable, or does Chrome no longer support the old display method?
