If someone knows of a reliable, non-spammy source of domain WHOIS information, I might consider linking there from the popup. Although, Chrome only allows one top-level context menu item, so it may not be easy to do unobtrusively.

It would be nice to have info on IPv[4|6] addresses too, you could get that info via RDAP (json based whois replacement)

[pmarks-net]

For IP addresses, you can already right-click and look them up on bgp.he.net.

I notice that bgp.he.net does provide WHOIS information for domain names, but only if you strip off the correct number of subdomains. http://bgp.he.net/dns/kernel.org#_whois works, but http://bgp.he.net/dns/www.kernel.org#_whois is blank.

I'd rather not deal with maintaining a list of second-level domains, like .co.uk

Nice I didn't know that. But my suggestion about do lookup via JS for example https://rdap.arin.net/registry/ip/8.8.8.8 and parse JSON output for name of network and put in next column but this is should be done on demand anyway.

Its already somewhat maintained by https://publicsuffix.org/
