Description from extension meta

Hide your geographic location from websites.

Image from store Location Guard
Description from store Modern browsers such as Google Chrome can tell websites where you're located in order to provide location-aware functionality. Your geographic location obtained via JavaScript is often highly accurate, which can be a violation of your privacy. This extension allows enjoying geolocation applications while protecting your privacy, by reporting a fake location to websites, after adding a certain amount of "noise" to the real one. The noise is randomly selected in a way that protects the real location from being accurately inferred. There's also an option to use a fixed location, instead of adding noise to the real one. IMPORTANT: Location Guard protects against JavaScript-based geolocation (which has very high accuracy), NOT IP-based geolocation (which typically has low accuracy). If a website detects your coarse location from your IP address, then use a VPN, Location Guard is not meant to solve this problem. To report an issue with Location Guard please use the following page: https://github.com/chatziko/location-guard/issues

  • (2023-11-10) Troid Dutta: IT WORKS …!! This is a must-have extension for any browser… PERIOD !
  • (2023-09-25) Михаил Жарков: Не работает
  • (2023-08-30) Nelson Minar: Works great. It got some significant updates last year, it's not dead, and works fine right now. Has some thoughtful extra protections compared to a simple version. Also it's open source which makes it safer for folks to install. Just really nicely done all around.
  • (2023-08-15) Timofej Zivoderoff: Приложение не работает там, где опрос идёт по IP-адресу (на него все постепенно переходят). Установка Fixed Geo и с его отметкой в Options бесполезна для таких случаев. Проверено на tinder :) Раньше оно там работало, пока разработчики вебсайте не сменили определение локации по IP клиента. Такие дела.
  • (2023-08-04) Владислав: При выборе Low, Medium или High увеличивает или понижает погрешность, но абсолютно игнорирует выставленную точку на карте. Удаление кеша не помогает. Протестировано в 2 браузерах.
  • (2023-07-23) SUPRIYO CHATTERJEE: Please update the extension more frequently for better security, privacy & stability
  • (2023-07-08) Landak Cemong: Most websites use IP to determine your location, so unless you're using a VPN, this extension is mostly useless. I still give it 5 stars because it does work IF the website is using geolocation, otherwise website like Google still now your location based on your IP
  • (2023-06-04) Rodolfo García Ruiz: FUNCIONA PERFECTO!!!
  • (2023-06-01) Tonio K.: working fine so far. I just hope this addons don't sell my data or act malicious in anyway.
  • (2023-04-26) Anya Frost: Да, работает, если настроить, как писали ниже. Открыла google maps, сразу показало, что я якобы в Калгари, Канада. Выбрала там себе домик :D
  • (2023-04-22) Максим Матюх: Don't forget! First select the Fixed Location you want, then set Default Level as Fixed Location in the options.
  • (2023-04-20) MV: works fine. configure it correctly first
  • (2023-03-15) Cheat Game Mobile (Tứ Bảnh 2K3): Chỉ thay đổi khoảng vùng dò tìm vị trí, chưa có tính năng thay đổi thành một vị trí xác định

  • (2022-05-01) 张杰: pls add features that can store used fixed locations,so when we dont have to modify that when we want to change back last fixed location.thks
  • (2022-04-26) Kyota Hattori: Doesn't work.
  • (2022-04-25) Gustavo M.: não funciona
  • (2022-04-10) Nocturnal Owl Digitalist: Honestly speaking this addon is nothing just a gimmick. I was recommended to use to hide my exact and spoof location which browsers are detecting automatically without my location permissions esp., google. I was having problem with brave browser. I tried and see it doesnt change anything, forgetting showing up new location. Google still knows my real like before installing the addon. Cleared the cache and history of browser but still the addon doesnt help. Using 100 and 101 and 102 browsers of chrome and chromium based. This addon works on none of the chromium based browsers. If dev is proud of his work, then explain me how this addon works? I dont want to install another addon that doesnt work. Anyways, it doesnt work and my rating would be 1 star. Poor.
  • (2022-03-31) Kirau Kleot: amazing for optimizing google search results works in Chrome, Firefox and Brave ! like a charm! 100% recommended
  • (2022-03-18) Dr.Ne0Gen3tic (Forensic Buro of Quantum): This extension works great and flawless! Of course, all permissions must be granted in the "Extension", settings, in the Chrome settings! In "Access to file URLS" must be the "slider" to the right! Also, of course, must be accepted by the browser that the "Automatic location query" is not or will not be blocked! If you have e.g. an Adblocker on, which blocks the "Location" this does not work of course! Also, this extension does not change at all, the "IP address" or the "location on IP address basis", but always only the "geo position", which is passed from "Windows" to "Chrome"! Therefore I give 5 stars, because what it is supposed to do, it does excellently and excellent! Combined with a "Proxy Address" and some other "Private Chrome Extensions" like "Canvas Blocking" and "Trace", it is really a "Bomb Combination" to be as "Anonymous as possible"!!! Thanks for this really great extension!

  • (2022-01-18, v:2.4.0) Bill Short: Google maps query
    I am in China using ExpressVPN to one of their servers in London. I have the Location Guard extension installed on my Chrome browser on Win10. I have chosen fixed location and have selected a location near the VPN server in London. I have also cleared the Chrome cache and the Windows location history. I have also sign out of my Google account, closed the browser, re-opened it and signed back in. When I open Google Maps, it defaults to Beijing, the correct country but I am actually is SW China near Vietnam, a long long way from Beijing. Why is it not defaulting to London? Which geolocation will be presented to websites I visit?

    The extension wants to know my location, and there was a small window from chrome that asked my permission, but I accidentally clicked denied. (I clicked too fast) Therefore I still can't continue because the extension doesn't know my location. I removed the extension and reinstalled it, but it never asks me again my permission to retrieve my location. How do I fix it and permit it to retrieve my location?

  • (2021-02-20, v:2.4.0) Christopher: Feature request: Time zone + locale spoof
    I've been using LG for a while and I absolutely love it, I was hoping to make a small feature request for an issue that I have been experiencing with some sites, namely the sites sometimes use my locale and others use my timezone to make some determinations/assumptions about what content they wish to display. For example some sites will use EN-AU to assume prices should be in Australian Dollars, others display a timeline of events based on my assumed location. There are other extensions (e.g. Spoof Timezone) that fulfill this need, however it would be great to have all 'location' indicators in one place and synchronized such that if one changes their location to say Toronto the locale, timezone and location all indicate the appropriate info. Thanks again for creating such a useful tool
