Change the time zone setting for web pages in the browser to a randomly selected or user-specified time zone.

Spoof Timezone Extension - Protect Your Privacy

"Spoof Timezone" is a Chrome browser extension designed to enhance user privacy by allowing them to change their timezone settings to a random or chosen value. This prevents tracking through timezone fingerprinting techniques. The extension offers automatic detection based on IP, quick testing via context menu, updates at start-up, and better iframe support in line with the new manifest v3.

Работает инвалидно, верификаторы то видят, то не видят время из расширения. Но самый главный минус это то, что при включенном расширении нельзя пройти проверку на человека от cloudflare - постоянный цикл.
