en | Extension hasn't been updated in some form since March 2022. Update may also means it was updated by Google themselves for privacy reasons. It doesn't necessarily mean the developer undated the extension. Instructions for the extension are NOT clear even in the demo. Search feature is broken. I went to Google Maps, Bing Maps. Guess what...it showed my actual location. I selected FIXED LOCATION. I verified it was a weird location. Why is that? Because Google, Bing, and most every website uses your IP location to reveal your location. I haven't heard of any that doesn't. No extension is going to spoof your location UNLESS you use a VPN with location spoofing features. And direct from the developer: "If a website detects your coarse location from your IP address, then use a VPN, Location Guard is not meant to solve this problem." Anyway, I call BS on the positive reviews saying this extension works. This is typical of the reviews these days made by bots, sophists, and trolls. |

ru | Местоположение меняется, как и заявлено! У КОГО НЕ РАБОТАЕТ, ЧИТАЕМ ВНИМАТЕЛЬНО: GPS и IP - две вида проверки геолокации, в данном случае он изменяет GPS локацию, а сайт сверяет ее с IP адресом. Если вам нужно 100% обмануть сайт, в дополнение к этому, ставим еще и VPN. |

en | This app is only supposed to help hide your location because of crazy people out there. But for many apps you have to have your location posted so I give this app 5 stars. its doing exactly what its supposed to do. I would only use if your a drop shipper or only sell online. |
