Nice and simple add-on, privacy friendly.

This add-on is the best on the Firefox Store.(For a budding dev) It's can show 3 things about a site. The location, registrar and the safety which is kinda a hit or miss.

It worked really well, the accuracy was also quite good. The user interface is simple and minimalist without any unwanted information or features.
