Location Veil di Null

Take control of the location websites receive from Firefox.

Location Veil lets you veil, or blur, your real location, choose a fixed location anywhere on a map, or allow trusted websites to access your actual position. You can set different rules for each website, and your preferences stay saved between browsing sessions.

Features

• Blur your location: Add adjustable random noise to your coordinates, making it harder for websites to pinpoint your exact position.
• Choose a fixed location: Pick a location using the built-in offline world map. More detailed online maps are available if you choose to enable them.
• Set rules for individual websites: Use a fake location on one site while allowing another to access your real location. Each choice is saved automatically.
• Adjust your privacy settings: Control the amount of location noise and how often a new blurred position is generated.
• Keep your settings locally: No account is required. Your preferences and website-specific rules are stored in Firefox, not synchronized to an external server.
• Simple, modern interface: Manage your location settings from the extension popup.

Designed with privacy in mind

Location Veil uses Firefox's geolocation system to modify the coordinates websites receive. It does not use analytics, advertising trackers, or a developer-operated server.

The offline map works without contacting an external map provider. If you enable detailed online maps, those providers can receive information about the map area you're viewing, along with your IP address.

Location Veil does not hide your IP address or prevent every possible method of location tracking. Websites may still estimate your location through other information.

Development and feedback

Location Veil is actively maintained, with continued compatibility and improvements as priorities.

I read user reviews and appreciate reports of bugs, unexpected behavior, and suggestions for new features. Feedback helps guide future updates, and I'll do my best to keep the extension working reliably as Firefox changes.

Firefox for Android support is planned for a future release.

You can also report issues or suggest features on GitHub.
