Location Guard Plus: Protect Your Privacy

"Location Guard Plus" is a Chrome extension that protects your privacy by reporting a fake location to websites. It adds random noise to your actual location to prevent accurate tracking and offers the option to use a fixed location. While it mitigates risks from JavaScript-based geolocation, users should consider a VPN for IP-based location detection. Enjoy location-based services safely with enhanced privacy.
