This extension overrides the getCurrentPosition() method of Geolocation API in HTML5
Hence current position follows the setting you save in popup menu.
some sites seem not to work correctly as user mentioned in review.
I think its due to the timing the override the current position.
If you have a trouble, please notify the web page where this doesn’t work.
FYI, try this site http://html5demos.com/geo
Não entendi o porquê da classificação baixa do app… funciona corretamente e ainda permite utilizar diversas localizações diferentes… caso tenha dificuldade com a geolocalização, vá ao Google Maps, clique no mapa onde quer com o botão direito e irá aparecer exatamente as coordenadas Latitude e Longitude necessárias ao APP. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores !!
It works as expected. Please don’t forget to toggle the checkbox on and click ‘Save’. Extension needs to save your coordinates.
I saw the star rating and was like this is a risk but I’m a developer who needed to spoof my geolocation for my work, and this worked absolutely perfectly. It fooled my own code right away! A lot of the people here think that it’s a VPN, it’s not, your IP will not change. Your IP is used to determine your location more than geolocation, this is for dealing with those sites where they ask you for your location rather than going by your IP. The UI is a little clunky, took me a minute to realize the checkbox at the bottom turns it on and off but if you know what you’re doing, it’s good
EDIT: No longer works due to Chrome code changes.
Does what I wanted it to.
My ISP is a thousand kilometers away so all the ads I see and many of the search results I get are absurdly irrelevant. This corrected that problem.
My configuration did not restore after uninstall and then install back chrome.
UI just flickers. Completely unusable.
not working – could not even enter in a locations – just flickered
It did not work for me
Does not work. Just flickers.
Not working
Quite okay!
it doesn’t work
Extension works perfectly – exactly what I needed! Easy, quick and intuitive setup!
A great THANK YOU to the dev!
Didn’t work, Location still showing
This extension works amazingly well. It’s the best one I found to perform local searches. In fact, this is by far the best solution I found for local search simulation.
Works for me
fonctionne bien
No funciona
If the website you’re using checks your location using your internet service provided address–well, duh, this extension won’t work. If, however, your webesite checks your location by tapping into your computer’s geolocation sensors (like CBS), then this extension is sweet as honey. Simple stuff folks. Why do all these negative reviewers have to complicate things? Geez
Doesnt work
Not working. Only thing that does really work is emulating the geolocation sensor in the Developer Tools Console.
It works and is pretty simple to setup.
Others may rate bad on this because the site that they wish to change the location detection for may not support what they are trying to do (eg. setting your correct location for a social media app to detect it but instead it finds the closest city to you).
It does look like this may not work for some sites that report back you ISP-detected(?) location and not your faked location. Some sites use a different method to detect your position and this may not work in that instance.
Otherwise, thanks to the dev! Give this extension some love folks 😀
This extension is great and has unfair reviews due to people obviously not knowing how to use it properly and/or expecting it to do something it’s not meant to do. Works perfectly if you know what you’re doing, how you’re doing it and why.
didnt work
