Introduction
Are you concerned about your privacy while browsing the internet? With the increasing use of geolocation on websites, your real location can be easily tracked. But worry not! I have found a solution for you - Location Guard, a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to enjoy geolocation applications while protecting your privacy.
What is Location Guard?
Location Guard is a Chrome extension that provides a layer of protection against websites that try to track your real geolocation. By reporting a fake location and adding random "noise" to the real one, Location Guard ensures that your true location remains hidden.
How Does Location Guard Work?
When you enable Location Guard, the extension adds random noise to your real geolocation. This noise makes it difficult for websites to accurately determine your actual location. Additionally, Location Guard offers the option to use a fixed location, further enhancing your privacy.
Benefits of Location Guard
By using Location Guard, you can enjoy the following benefits:
- Protect your privacy while using geolocation applications
- Report a fake location to websites
- Add random noise to your real location
- Option to use a fixed location

Works great!
This app is only supposed to help hide your location because of crazy people out there. But for many apps you have to have your location posted so I give this app 5 stars. its doing exactly what its supposed to do. I would only use if your a drop shipper or only sell online.
Had problems with google not showing my correct geolocation, despite my IP showing the correct information. Spent many hours on the phone with tech support, they couldn't figure it out. This app just saved me a bunch of headache. Set my actual location using the 'Fixed location' setting using this extension, and now all my location services are working perfectly. No longer am I getting search results from a different city in a different state.
Very good, ideal for web browsing if you don't know what link your going to as it can stop a robbery unfortunately not hacking :/ They should add a link scanner that shows you where your going.
Amazing
Amazing tool!!!!, Letting users protect there privacy. Actual Life saver!!!
IT WORKS …!! This is a must-have extension for any browser… PERIOD !
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.
Please update the extension more frequently for better security, privacy & stability
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
working fine so far. I just hope this addons don't sell my data or act malicious in anyway.
