Description from store
This extension allows you to customize your browser's settings to appear as if you are accessing the internet from a different location, locale, or device. This can be useful for testing websites, bypassing regional restrictions, or protecting your privacy online. With just a few clicks, you can change your time zone, locale, geolocation, and user agent to match your desired settings.
Most extensions that provide these features rely on content scripts to inject script tags into web pages. There are many limitations to script tag injections which you can read about here: https://palant.info/2020/12/10/how-anti-fingerprinting-extensions-tend-to-make-fingerprinting-easier
Vytal utilizes the chrome.debugger API to spoof this data instead. This allows the data to be spoofed in frames, web workers and during the initial loading of a website. It also makes the spoofing completely undetectable.
You can test and compare Vytal and other extensions on https://vytal.io
Vytal is free, collects no data and signup is not required.
While spoofing data a notification bar becomes visible. Hiding the bar can be done by using the --silent-debugger-extension-api flag. Instructions on how to run chrome with flags: https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags
Vytal is not a VPN or proxy and will not change your IP address. However, it can be used in combination with a VPN service to obscure your true location.

- (2023-03-28) Miska Risa: Best extension for spoofing that I've seen. Keep it up!
- (2023-03-11) 101 is: There seems to be something wrong with my plug-in, IP Address error Request a new feature X-Forwarded-For
- (2023-03-06) Steven: Amazing! Does just exactly as it says on the tin... Now I don't have to manually use debugging tools to set my real location on Tinder instead of it always showing me as 400 miles from where I really am! I'd rate it higher but 5 stars is as far as I can go with it. It's a shame you have been marked down for peoples stupidity, this does exactly as it should.
- (2023-03-05) JAY O: This will fool a lot of people in my opinion, Just my opinion only important to me, it did not work for me , when i tested it ( NOT on there website ) But IMO the most trusted website that does not even use Java to work. Go to hidemyIPaddress or the link its self https://www.hidemyipaddress.com And you will see that nothing is changed , well is was not for me. if I'm wrong 100% ill take this down. As i don't want to leave a bad review. So if i can be shown it works 100% again ill Edit and say sorry & give it its due props But it Cleary did not work for me, as what's my IP address showed my real address , geo , lat log , my system etc etc What's my ip address is the best way to test a VPN ( a good one that does not keep logs, for a fact! One that has been brought to court & had no logs to give ) And the huge Plus With - whatsmyipaddress does not have a single tracker or Ad or Cookie or even need Java & is open source. Its the best way to see what info your phone/laptop is putting out about you without you knowing. So I'm getting rid of it as it does not work, By the means of how I tested it thru WhatIsMyIpAddress, Again if I'm wrong ill take this down. But that's why 1 star & again just my opinion which only matters to me

- (2022-11-10) Leandro Tutoriais: The Vytal extension was good so far Chrome disabled it today as soon as I opened my browser, now it asks to accept new permissions, to detect my physical location, why... where does our privacy go? I removed the extension, if the developer removes this permission I will install again. Thanks!
- (2022-11-09) Egor Kharybin: Since when does the location & timezone spoofer need the true location/timezone data for itself?
- (2022-11-08) Desmond Direct: Great extension. Only extension that spoofs data in web workers.
- (2022-09-01) Emily McCarter: Great solution for hiding your true timezone
- (2022-09-01) Félix Silva: when placing the match ip option it gets stuck and only returns to normal when uninstalling and reinstalling
- (2022-08-02) - λlτεrηιτγ -: The notification, '"Vital" started debugging this browser', constantly keeps popping up and taking up screen space.
- (2022-07-04) samra riaz: what's the point of using this extension, if any website can detect your location via your IP address since Vytal doesn't change the IP Address.
- (2022-06-22) Michael Dibadj: all of thing is perfectly ok however an error really on my nerve after I match IP , when I am surfacing on the net an error constantly pop up in my google chrome browser , is written "vytal stated debugging this browser " so I click cancel but when i'm refresh the page or open a new page that error come back please fix this tnx

- (2022-06-16) DeatMaus: How to disconnect a notification of debugging a browser in Google Chrome? Due to your expansion, the sign is constantly emerging that "the extension Vytal launched the debugging of this browser"
- (2022-06-15) merkury28: Great addon. Keep up good work. Found nice explaining article about it: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/06/13/vytal-browser-extension-to-spoof-your-location-and-user-agent/
- (2022-06-14) Ed Harphy: "As there is a slight delay between the pages loading and when the debugger starts spoofing the data, a user's correct info can be retrieved during the initial loading of the webpage" source :https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/. I hope to fix that
- (2022-06-14) Zahid Almazán López: Very good. ;))
- (2022-06-13) Steve Meet: Great extension. Helped me access BBC from outside the UK.
- (2022-06-13) Shahzad Khan: Does not work. Tried every location with reload but my exact location is shown by every FindMyIpAddress Location websites. I turned off my VPN for this testing.
- (2022-06-13) josh assing: Very nice addition for privacy minded folks. Easy to use. Dinged 1 star since it won't auto-update itself if IP changes (ie: you change VPN servers, you have to manually 'reload')
- (2022-06-13) Nick Harcombe: Flat out doesn't work for me, no matter how many times I try different locations or hit reload, IP locating websites always report me where I actually am and not where I set it to. And geoblocking sites still stops me.

- (2022-06-12) Guido Makor: Great addition to a VPN!
- (2022-06-12) Kris Van Lier: Great plugin.
- (2022-06-12) Derzanski: Easy and great solution to getting around WebApps that have geo-locking capabilities. There's a few bugs, like the Custom option not saving data entered correctly, but I'm sure that'll be worked out!
