- by Firefox user 13404543, 2 months agoRated 3 out of 5It does what it says. It convolutes your location. What I'd like to see is a site-specific option, so that it can be automatically disabled for certain websites. Then it would get 5 stars from me.

- by What???, 2 months agoRated 1 out of 5Doesn't work. My IP address shows where I am. This extension doesn't hide this fact. If the developers mentioned this I wouldn't give it one star.
- by Earl, 4 months agoRated 1 out of 5What a waste of time. Did not work for me.? Continuing search for something that actually works and won't waste my time.

- by Denitsa, 7 months agoRated 1 out of 5I don't usually write negative reviews, but this addon has broken my nerves in recent weeks. It doesn't work at all, the icon is constantly disabled and doesn't "turn on" and there's no way to turn it on - I don't know why Firefox allowed such an addon to be published. I tried everything from the "documentation", read all the comments, reinstalled my browser several times - it is still disabled.

https://browserleaks.com/geo gives my real location - by 00231, 8 months agoRated 1 out of 5Does not work, I have tinkered with the settings and tried everything (such as toggling fixed location, reinstalling, restarting browser and device, deleting geocache and browser cache) but according to whatsmyip's approx location tool it can still discover my exact location, despite setting this geospoofer elsewhere. I'm also using a VPN set to the same location I set this to test it (since the site is finding my location by other means that I thought this would solve) - it has no effect. Is there anywhere we can request support, and not just bug reports? I see I'm not alone.
Using Firefox 79.0 on Windows 10. - by Firefox user 13954888, 8 months agoRated 1 out of 5Looks good unfortunately didn't work at all. Nor did the only other firefox location addon. I just want it to stop saying i live somewhere i don't. Ugh.

posted 9 months agoThanks for your review. Location Guard collects __absolutely__ no user data whatsoever. Its code is open source so anyone can easily audit it to verify this. Moreover, location guard is the result of academic research, it is not monetized in any way. - by oliver, 10 months agoRated 5 out of 5Work very well. But you have to read the manual.
I only missing a config button in the browsers toolbar. - by venkat, a year agoRated 5 out of 5
- by HellenicPride, a year agoRated 5 out of 5clicked at the Fixed Location and picked a fake location.
then used a well known meeting site that locates your cords and it worked.
ideal for both dynamic or static IPs!!
5 stars from me!

διαλέγεις το Fixed Location, και τραβάς τον δείκτη εκεί που θές. τέλος..... σε γνωστό σάιτ που ψάχνει τις συντεταγμένες σου, δούλεψε κανονικά.
