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.
