CloseReview for Country Lookup by Enrol1202
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This add-on does exactly what it says it will do.
Gives you (along with much more) a flag telling you the country of the IP address. And of course, if the sender's e-mail provider is Hotmail.com the flag produced will be a Stars and strips. What do you expect?
Where this is particularly useful is when you get an e-mail purporting to come from ypur bank and the flag generated is from the Dominican Republic. A good indicator it is a scam.
Other curiosities like the flag produced tells you that "The Independent" newspaper in the UK uses an internet service provider in the Netherlands.
Anyone complaining that the country identified is not identical with the residence of the sender is incredibly naive. How else, other than the ISP address do you think this add-on can find a location?
Great Add-on! Hope you will update for TB 5.
