Description

Change Geolocation (Location Guard) is a browser extension that let you easily change your geographic location to the desired value and protect your privacy. Simply open the addon's options page and set the latitude and longitude for where you want the geolocation to be (the default location is Greenwich, UK). Next, reload a page and check your location (i.e. webbrowsertools.com/geolocation/). Please note that besides latitude and longitude you can set other variables in the geolocation API (see options page). Moreover, pressing on the toolbar icon will activate or deactivate the addon. Note: toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch to activate and deactivate the addon. The green color is for ON and the grey color is for the OFF state. To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/change-geolocation.html).

I don't know about others, but it simply doesn't work for me. I loaded it up and made sure it was on (green), and expected to be in Greenwich, England - but I got the same default location I always do. I tried setting my physical location (as opposed to my IP location) and still get my ip location. I exited the browser and cleared cache and tried again, still get IP location. Maybe it works for some but not for me

This isn't the one you are looking for as the other one by the same name works great. Not this one, keep looking

This doesn't work. It only cosmetically changes the geotag, but not the "aggressive" and non spoofable tags. Country Code and Country Name. Per https://webbrowsertools.com/geolocation/ About page, "This page shows your geolocation data... six methods designed to extract geodata... The last two methods are "aggressive", meaning that, they can extract the real geodata even if you have a plugin to spoof your geolocation data... first four methods may conceive fake geolocation but the last two will not and always return the real geodata." This is totally worthless for anything other than fun, which, in that case, it would be a five star extension.

RECOMMENDATION: Use the 'Vytal' extension instead. It can spoof geolocation, timezone, locale and user agent. Works much better then this one.

Doesn't work at all, no matter how I try it. Use "Search Laboratory Regional SERP Selector" instead.

Doesn't work. Clicking it just takes me to an advertising page, There isn't even a dialog box saying "what location should we chagne to?"

Does not work at all. No matter what you change the Lat Long to in the options, all webpages read your real location

Does not help with Hulu location streaming rights as described. Yes, I followed the instructions and tried several different cities.

This will not work for testing things that use IP address to check your location.

The "gotta watch video" feels like mansplaining, so let me speed it up for you. Right-click icon and tap "what is my location" or options.. that should do ya. I think my extension could be doing more. Reviewer Steve Meet recommends Vyal for more.
