What is "Spoof Geolocation" extension and how does it work?

This extension works even if you have disabled reporting GEO data on your browser. You can enable GEO access from the right-click context menu over the browser action button. The extension asks for the latitude and longitude values on the first request. Go to https://webbrowsertools.com/geolocation/ to see the current values. Note that the action's icon alters to blue if the spoofed report is granted, and it turns to red if the request is blocked.

This extension creates a polyfill "geolocation" object if the browser does not support the GEO location (when GEO access is blocked on the browser level). When a request for accessing GEO data is received, the extension uses internal storage to find latitude and longitude values. If no value is detected, a prompt is displayed. Make sure to insert the values with more than four decimal digits in the prompt box. Otherwise, the reported GEO data is ignored by some websites.
