Bug 40714 was invalid, but I think this is a valid request although a low
priority one: if the browser doesn't allow to load unsecure resources, the
GeoIP lookup to freegeoip.net should be skipped or anyway the behaviour should
degrade gracefully (or more gracefully than it currently does).
Of course chasing browsers is not an option but maybe someone will come up with
a smart solution. The linked thread mentions HTTP 304 Not Modified responses
which might give some some clue to ULS maybe?
