About this extension

Infrastructure Overlay is a browser extension that reveals the physical and ecological infrastructure behind the websites you visit.

Each time you load a page, a subtle overlay appears in the corner of your browser. It displays:

The real-world server location of the domain
A fact-based geographic and energy context
A poetic reflection on the site's material footprint

This extension draws from verified data and regional infrastructure details to make the internet's hidden geography visible — not through statistics, but through grounded, evocative language.

No data is collected. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Part of the ongoing project “What the Mineral Forgets” by Davey Whitcraft.
