Is IP Location Lookup safe?

Clean risk

IP Location Lookup sends the active tab hostname to ipwhois.app when its popup opens.

When you open the extension popup, it reads the hostname of the currently active tab and fills it into the lookup field. The popup then automatically runs a lookup request to ipwhois.app using that hostname as the query.
