Description from store
Geolocation API, a standard feature supported in all major Web browsers, allows sites to infer your precise location. Past research has shown that many sites using this API do not need a very accurate location to work correctly. Yet, there is no native way to make the reported data less accurate.
Geolocation API Blocker is an open-source extension that allows the user to modify their reported coordinates for different hostnames in two ways:
1) A fixed location of their choosing.
2) A noisy location uniformly distributed inside a circle of specified radius centered around the actual location.
The extension only works with the Geolocation API. It cannot protect against methods that use your IP address.
