  Hello, Dave! 👋

  Good job on this challenge! I just finished this project too. There is a problem on Firefox. Console throws an CORS error Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). I encountered this problem too. Read about this error. The fix is to send your request to a proxy. A proxy acts as an intermediary between a client and server. The proxy server operates in between the frontend web app making the request, and the server that responds with data. Add https://cors.bridged.cc/ to any URL you’re fetching from. In your example it will be: https://cors.bridged.cc/https://geo.ipify.org/api/v1?apiKey=yourapikey. This is my solution if your curious.

  Good luck with that, have fun coding! 💪
