    I'd like to be able to find information about a given website -- owner name, country of the servers it's on, any known legal problems etc.; ie a quick rundown on whatever can easily be found out about a website. It seems to me there used to be a tool for that sort of thing -- a browser add-on I think.

    Any suggestions for software here at MG or browser add-ons or other software that can provide this kind of info?

    Wow, thank you Mr Turner. Lots of good info on your website. I didn't really think I'd be able to find out the actual owner -- possibly if it was a corporation, but on the site I'm curious about I think it's just an individual or two who constitute the LLC. Thanks again. ;)

    Greetings Eezak.

    One other very simple (and free) information tool is built into most modern browsers. Simply right-click on a web page and select "View Source" or "View Page Source" from the context menu. Along with a presentation of the code used to build the page, you can sometimes glean valuable information about the author in the meta tags (usually located near the top of the page).
