Hi,

Here's my version of the IP module :

API used : https://freegeoip.net/json (taken from https://github.com/toddmotto/public-apis which features a lot of free public APIs)

Hi!

While this is a good feature, we can't implement it for several reasons.

The main one, without getting too technical, is that every query goes through our server, so you won't ever get the user's IP address, but Qwant's one.

The second one is more ethical. We don't keep any info about our users. We don't want to give the impression that we use their IP address.

Thank you for your contribution though :)
