Flagfox
Flagfox is a Firefox extension that displays a flag icon
indicating the location of the current server. Knowing where
you are connected to adds an extra layer of awareness to
your browsing and can be useful to indicate the native languages and
legal jurisdictions that may apply. It also allows users to
perform geolocationing, tracerouting, translation, validation, URL
shortening, and custom lookups, among other tasks.
Additional information can be obtained via a multitude of
external
lookups and users can add their own custom actions. All actions can be
added to the flag icon's context menu and set to icon click or keyboard
shortcuts for quick access.
