Location Guard in Chrome with OffiDocs

DESCRIPTION

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.
