Description from store
Cloaq is a browser extension that spoofs your time zone, geolocation, and locale to any location you choose. It’s useful for testing websites in different regions, bypassing geo-restrictions, or matching your location data to your VPN IP address.
Cloaq is free, open source, and collects no user data.
ℹ️ How Cloaq Works
Cloaq uses the chrome.debugger API to change data directly at the browser level, making it effective across all frames and web workers, unlike other extensions that rely on less reliable script injections. This approach ensures data modifications are undetectable and work consistently, even during the initial page load.
ℹ️ IP Address
Cloaq does not change your IP address. To change your IP address, you will need a VPN or proxy.
ℹ️ Hide Debugging Notification Bar
While the extension is on, a notification bar becomes visible. Hiding the bar can be done by using the --silent-debugger-extension-api flag.

ℹ️ Permission Justification
debugger: Enables the extension to attach to tabs and emulate user settings such as location, timezone, and locale.
webNavigation: Enables the extension to attach the debugger to pages and monitor page transitions.
storage: Enables the extension to store and retrieve settings and preferences.
