# Bitcoin Address Inspector

A browser extension that automatically detects Bitcoin addresses on webpages and displays their balance, UTXO count, total received amount, and transaction count using the mempool.space API.

> **`Note:`** A quick weekend project that make it easier to inspect bitcoin addresses directly in the browser. This is just the first release, tested, works... not as I would like to! For example, the popup enters in a loop and does not display the data when hovering highlighted the address. I suggest deactivating the option in the settings as show in the image below. Right click option works well, as shown in the screenshot below.

> The extension is available for Chrome and FireFox (different branch for each browser). Code is open to contributions, PRs, issues, and any feedback that could help improve it.
