2024-09-28	Radist	Works well, thanks. What I would need is to have some fixed "favorite" fake locations.

2024-06-20	sirensynapse	Works perfectly though it's not pinnable to the toolbar (FIX THIS!!!),. so getting through the multiple layers of settings to actually change things is a bitch. Go to manage extensions, then options then "use fixed location" to nail a location down.

2024-02-19	Argish	Th extension does what it says, use the 'Fixed Location' option if high precision location is not important for you. Read the FAQ. It does not change IP Location though, only Broswer Gelocation is changed (even without using GPS).
