A review of the “Chrome Extensions Page” reveals that no configuration options are available for this extension.

Utilizing Chrome Flags

Whenever a website is accessed, a small flag icon will become visible at the right side of the “Address Bar”. This icon indicates the geographical location of the website’s server.

To view detailed information about the current website, simply click on the flag icon (either left or right click will work). A drop-down window will then appear.

This window displays the server’s country of origin, the IP address, and a selection of links for accessing more in-depth information. Furthermore, data from WOT and McAfee SiteAdvisor can also be viewed.

For demonstration purposes, we selected two of the additional information source links to explore.

The following image shows the McAfee SiteAdvisor listing for the website.

Additionally, Google Trends information for the How-To Geek website was examined. This provides a valuable and insightful addition.

In Conclusion

For those who have desired the functionality of “Flagfox” within Google Chrome, the wait is now over. The Chrome Flags extension is a worthwhile addition to any Chrome installation.
