Thanks! Yea, the problem is the registrant organization of the domain is set to Namecheap. Not sure how to get around domain privacy for now.

Maybe the extension could check the info on the SSL certificates (if available) if the domain is registered through a proxy?

This is almost necessary for the extension to be useful. A good number of domains I checked are all "run" by WHOISGUARD, INC.

Hm, do SSL certificates have information about the owner?

I think only Extended Validation (EV) certificates have this info by default :(

Some do, some do not.

You could have a list to recognise proxy names and in this case display clearly that the real owner has been obfuscated...

That could work!
