This extension can change(fake) the geo location as you want
What is Change GeoLocation?
'Change GeoLocation' is a user-friendly Chrome extension that helps users in faking their geolocation. It works by overriding the getCurrentPosition() method of the Geolocation API in HTML5. By setting up a location in the extension's popup menu, you instruct it to depict that as your current position. Ideal for accessing content that's region-locked or for privacy reasons. Please note that some websites may not work correctly due to the timing of the override.

Recent reviews
Chrome uses 2 combined datapoints to collect location: the GPS and global IP. This can only spoof the GPS location, to do IP spoofing a VPN is required and no Chrome extension can do anything about that.
For everyone giving one star reviews, you probably don't have a VPN and you're just upset that the digital world isn't as simple as you had hoped. This does what it says it does.
Realmente conforme comentário de um utilizador aqui abaixo, funciona perfeitamente e de uma maneira muito simples. Não entendo porque uma nota baixa. Cumpre o que promete e perfeitamente
