8 jaar geleden geplaatstHello,
Location Guard needs to be able to modify the javascript geolocation API for any webpage. There is no way to do so other than using the generic permission to "Access your data for all websites".
This does not mean that Location Guard reads your data. The extension is open source and reviewed by Mozilla, any malicious behaviour would be easily detected.
Note that the "Access your data for all websites" is standard for most addons, it's hard to do anything without it. Ghostery, for instance, is one of the most well known addons for privacy and does use it. Same for uBlock, AdBlock Plus, etc.

- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 18205130, 2 maanden geledenI haven't figured out how it works yet (but I understand that you need to select a location on the map), but I've already found a bug: When I scroll, a menu appears that I don't intend to open.
- Waardering: 5 van 5door harl windwolf, 2 maanden geledenWorks exactly as expected. The options are available from the list of extensions (Ctrl+Shift+A), Location Guard, three-dot-menu, Options.
If it doesn't work for you on a specific page, that's because the page doesn't rely on the information provided by the browser, but instead checks your IP (or that of your VPN etc) and a few other location sources more aggressively than other pages. There's nothing this (or any other) extension can do about that. - Waardering: 1 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 14280591, 4 maanden geledenDoesn't work. Please use a different plugin. This doesn't work at all anymore.

- Waardering: 1 van 5door What???, één jaar geledenNot working on Facebook (it's not available) but installed. Other sites it's available but I don't think it actually works. Plus actual IP address is also shown.
