🚀 Feature request

Hi
Thanks for the excellent extension—it’s super helpful!

I’d like to propose two UI enhancements to make the icon more informative:

  1. Latency/ping overlay on the icon
    Display the current ping (e.g. to the configured ping URL) directly on the extension badge, such as “23 ms”, updating in real time.

    • This was previously suggested in Discussions #… but I think it would be great as a core feature.
  2. Country flag based on current public IP
    Show a small flag for the detected IP country (via IPify or similar) beside the IP address in the popup, or badge icon if feasible—very useful when using VPNs or traveling.

Why this matters

  • Users gain at-a-glance awareness of both connection quality (latency) and geographic routing (via country flag).
  • Enhances usability without opening the popup window.

Happy to help with design mockups or testing if useful.

Thanks for considering!
