We are pleased to announce the Northstar update for the IP Address Tool Chrome Extension, version 0.0.1.1149.

Northstar makes it easier to check your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses while giving you more control over how the lookup is performed. The update also fixes notification, refresh, IPv6, accessibility, and localization issues.

What’s new in Northstar?

Choose your preferred IP provider

IP Address Tool now includes a provider selector. IPify remains the default, while users can choose SeeIP or ident.me from the welcome page or extension options.

• IPify – the default provider for simple IPv4 and IPv6 lookups.
• SeeIP – an alternative provider with dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints.
• ident.me – a lightweight alternative using separate IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints.

Only the selected provider is contacted. The extension does not query all providers at the same time. Provider privacy information is linked directly from the welcome page and options page.

Improved first-run experience

New installations now open a local welcome page where users can choose their preferred provider or continue with IPify’s defaults. Existing users can change the provider at any time through the extension options.

More reliable notifications

• Notification preferences now work correctly.
• The selected refresh interval is now applied to background checks.
• Previous IP values are persisted locally so service-worker restarts do not create false change notifications.
• The first background check establishes a baseline without generating an unnecessary notification.
• Background polling stops when notifications are disabled.

Better IPv6 support

The extension now uses IPv6-only endpoints and accepts compressed IPv6 addresses such as 2001:db8::1. IPv4 and IPv6 results are validated independently, so an unavailable IPv6 connection no longer prevents the IPv4 result from being displayed.

Localization and accessibility improvements

• Popup, options, and welcome-page labels are now localized through Chrome’s internationalization system.
• English, Spanish, and French translations have been completed.
• Status messages use accessible live regions.
• Theme selection now uses a proper accessible fieldset.
• Keyboard focus styles have been improved.

Privacy-focused design

IP Address Tool does not collect browsing history, website content, account information, or analytics. Your public IP is sent directly to the provider you select so that provider can return the address requested. The extension stores settings and the previous IP baseline locally in Chrome storage and does not send that information to JordanTBH Technologies.

Read the full IP Address Tool Privacy Policy before using the extension.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the notification preference using the wrong storage area and key.
• Fixed the refresh interval option being ignored.
• Fixed false notifications after service-worker restarts.
• Fixed false IPv6 handling caused by the universal IP endpoint.
• Fixed valid compressed IPv6 addresses being rejected.
• Improved handling of failed providers, HTTP errors, timeouts, and clipboard failures.
• Removed obsolete minified release copies so the published entry points use the maintained source files.

IP Address Tool Northstar is available now for Google Chrome.

Download via Chrome Web Store

Meet Nightfall, the latest update to My Downloads Extension.

Nightfall brings a cleaner, more customisable download-management experience designed to go beyond Chrome’s default downloads page.

Here’s a breakdown of the latest updates.

What’s new?

A cleaner downloads dashboard

• Refined card-based download layout

• Better handling of completed, interrupted, and in-progress downloads
• Updated extension icon package for improved toolbar visibility

Light, dark, and system themes

Choose between:

• Light mode
• Dark mode
• Follow system preference

Dark-mode contrast has also been improved across buttons, dialogs, settings, and the welcome page.

Customise your action buttons

Choose how download actions appear:

• Icon + label
• Icon only
• Label only

This lets you keep the interface compact or make each action more descriptive.

Improved date and time controls

You can now choose how timestamps are displayed:

• Exact date and time
• Date only
• Time only
• Relative time
• Hidden

Safer history management

Removing a download from history now leaves a clear visual record:

• The filename is struck through
• The file icon is muted
• The status changes to “Removed from history”
• File actions are disabled
• The removed state remains until visible history is cleared

Confirmation dialogs are also available before removing individual downloads or clearing history.

New keyboard shortcut and context-menu access

My Downloads can now be opened using the default shortcut:

Ctrl+Shift+Y

The shortcut can be changed through Chrome’s extension shortcut settings.

A new right-click menu option, Open My Downloads, is also available.

Improved welcome experience

The updated welcome page now lets you:

• Jump straight into your downloads
• Open preferences immediately
• Learn about the main features
• Access release notes and privacy information
• Configure your keyboard shortcut

Improved lifecycle and feedback handling

Nightfall includes improved install, update, and uninstall handling, including tokenised uninstall feedback support through the shared feedback system.

Localised interface

The interface now includes complete translations for:

• English
• German
• Spanish
• French
• Japanese
• Korean
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Simplified Chinese

Built with privacy in mind

My Downloads only requests the permissions needed to manage download history, store preferences, provide the context-menu shortcut, and open the extension’s own feedback and update pages.

No browsing history or website content is collected.

Thank you for using My Downloads Extension. Nightfall is another step towards making Chrome’s download experience faster, clearer, and more personal.
