Location Guard

Hide your geographic location from websites.

Location Guard Edge Add-on for Privacy Protection

'Location Guard' is an Edge add-on that grants control over your online location privacy. It provides location-aware functionality without disclosing your accurate location, by reporting a randomized or fixed false location to websites. Ideal for geolocation applications, it safeguards against JavaScript-based geolocation, which often has high accuracy. Note: It does not tackle IP-based geolocation — for coarse location detection issues, use a VPN alongside. Report any Location Guard issues on the provided GitHub page.
