Discover how Location Guard protects your browser location privacy with noise-based geolocation spoofing, customizable privacy levels, and per-site configuration.
Location Guard uses a mathematically rigorous approach to protect your privacy. Instead of blocking geolocation entirely, it adds controlled random noise to your real coordinates, making it impossible for websites to pinpoint your exact location.
Unlike blocking, noise-based protection lets location-dependent websites function normally with approximate data
The same fake location is reported consistently to each website, preventing detection through repeated queries
Works silently in the background with no popups or interruptions during browsing
Your real location vs. what websites see

Choose the right balance between privacy protection and location accuracy for your needs.
~200 meter offset
Minimal noise added. Websites see your approximate neighborhood but not your exact address. Good for local weather and news sites.
~2 kilometer offset
Balanced protection. Websites see your general city area but cannot determine your neighborhood or street. Ideal for most users.
~10 kilometer offset
Maximum noise. Websites only see your general region. Some location-dependent features may not work as expected. Best for privacy-conscious users.
Want to appear as if you're browsing from a completely different place? Fixed Location Mode lets you set any location on a map, and all websites will see that chosen location instead of your real one.
Simply click anywhere on the built-in map to set your desired location
Access location-specific content by setting your location to the required region
Perfect for web developers testing location-based features of their applications
Not all websites need the same privacy level. Location Guard lets you configure different protection settings for each website, so you can use high privacy for social media while keeping low privacy for your local weather site.
Set privacy levels individually for each domain you visit
Set a global default level and override it for specific sites that need different treatment
Optionally allow real location for trusted sites or completely block geolocation for untrusted ones
