Now search for geo.enabled in the about:config search bar.

Now change Default Level to ‘Use Fixed Location’. Now to spoof your location, go to Location Guard ‘options’ (Chrome Settings > Extensions > Location Guard Details > Extension Options). You will also be able to spoof your location entirely (like we did manually) if you don’t worry about search result accuracy, etc. This will help you get the best of both worlds – you will be able to enjoy local search results without giving out your exact address. It will let you hide your exact location, but will still inform websites about your general location. The one that we recommend is Location Guard ( free). You can also spoof your IP using Chrome extensions from the web store. Alternatively, you can also set your precise location manually by typing in your exact latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates.

In the new pane at the bottom, you can click on the ‘Override’ button to select from a bunch of preset options, including Tokyo, Mumbai and London.

Now click on the Menu button (three dots) of the Dev console (not the browser menu) and select ‘More Tools’ > ‘Sensors’.

Next, go to Developer Options by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I for Windows or Cmd+Option+I on Mac.

If it says ‘Blocked’, click on it and switch on the toggle. Under the ‘Permissions’ section, you will see the ‘Location’ entry, which should say ‘Ask before accessing’.
