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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Good.

As a network engineer, I find this very helpful for seeing what IP version various sites are using.

Nice and useful extension to know the IPv6 status.

Really cool way of seeing if the site is connecting via ipv6 or ipv4

Been using it for years and love the extension. Noticed that it recently does not appear to be working with Chrome. Has anything changed?

The best extension in Chrome land by far for quick IPv6 debugging

Use it daily.

Clean, helpful extension: useful for checking the status of one's own connection, but also to see how IPv6 is being deployed by the big boys or whoever else you're interested in.

very useful . i recommend IPvFoo to every person i have an IPv6 conversation with . Note that IPvFox for Firefox is equally good.

Does what it's supposed to do, and provides a side benefit in showing you what scripts are connecting to what sites.

EXACTLY what I wanted, does what it says on the tin.

Just what I was looking for. Easy way to check if the site is IPv6 or IPv4. Nice implementation.

This is great for testing your IPv6 setup, and seeing which sites are already running IPv6.

Awesome. This is what I was looking for.

I initially picked this up to see/ensure that IPv6 connections were working correctly/even happening, but I continue to find it useful for monitoring v4 connections also.

Great extension, letting me peek which sites use IPv6 and which sites not. Doesn't seem to be 100% accurate for some reason, because a few requests to my own webserver are reported as IPv4, but said supposed IPv4 connections don't show up in netstat or TCPView at all.

I just discovered Comcast enabled ipv6 for my home and this extension is exactly what I was looking for to easily see how many sites have ipv6 enabled. Thanks!!

Excellent development tool. Lets you easily see what IP you are using to access a website, as well as the IPs for all the other resources on the page.

Works correctly if you have a direct connection to the Internet and shows whether you are connecting over v4 or v6 and shows the site's v4 or v6 address, but if you are behind a proxy it does not work (it shows the IP address of the proxy)

I'm working on converting our worldwide network to dual-stack, and I need to know at a glance when I'm getting to sites via IPv6 or IPv4. This extension is invaluable for testing, and also cool for IPv6 geeks.

Works perfect, this extension is exactly what I've been looking for!

I'm sure network engineers find this sort of thing diagnostically useful, but for me it's just nerd entertainment. It does its job well, though. If you don't have IPv6 it's probably not worth messing with unless you want a subtle form of notification when it starts arriving for you.

It's what i just want to find out. vevy fast,very clear.

This appears to work perfectly so far.

This extension is very good! It is great to see what is accessed over v6, v4. You might be surprised to see how much is v6 already!

This app is great for any geek that wants to know about IPv6 widespread during web browsing, or even during networking debugging! Thanks a lot!
