Ask HN: Do you think IPv6 will improve the geolocation results?
Seems to me like there'll be a lot flexibility in letting you know where exactly the user is coming logged on from.
- halo 17y agoI think it's more likely that browsers implement the W3C geolocation API before IPv6 becomes mainstream, which will cover use-cases where accurate geolocation is important, but will require the permission by the user. I don't think we'll ever reach a point where IP geolocation is something you can rely on.
- wmf 17y agoI think it will be the same or worse than v4 (due to larger allocations). It will depend how accurate the whois data is.
