Country Flag +

Country Flag + is a Firefox add-on focused on offering geographical information about any visited site. The name gives one of its features away from the start, that being generating a small flag icon at the end of the URL tab for each site you land on. If the site's server is located in your proximity or half away around the globe, you'll know it.

Besides placing a tiny flag in an area that not many people notice, the add-on is completely silent and intrusive. Still, those interested in more than the visual representation of a country can click the flag in order to bring forward a menu containing some geographical data. More precisely, you can check the domain name, server IP address, and GPS coordinates.

If you want to check a site's analytics like traffic or competitive markers, the add-on uses Amazon's Alexa site information service.

Country Flag + supports around 240 country flags, despite the world's established countries amounting to 195. The number is not proof of error or lack of knowledge, as some territories, not yet recognized as countries, have their own flags, raising the current count to 254.

Removing flags from the URL tab is something you can do from the options menu for when you feel like hiding this add-on. A static map is generated below the GPS coordinates, but if you want that removed, it can be done. Lastly, if flag size is an issue, you have three sizes to choose from: Small(15px), Medium (17px) and Big (19px).

Country Flag + offers a bit more than it initially advertises. If finding out a website's domain information and GPS location is important in your work or free time, this lightweight add-on is up for grabs.
