Show HN: Browser extension that spoofs your location data to match your VPN
Recently made this extension and interested in getting some feedback on it.<p>Vytal can Spoof your timezone, locale, geolocation and user agent. This data can be used to track you or reveal your location.<p>Most extensions that provide anti-fingerprinting features rely on content scripts to inject script tags into webpages. There are many limitations to script tag injections which you can read about here: <a href="https://palant.info/2020/12/10/how-anti-fingerprinting-extensions-tend-to-make-fingerprinting-easier/" rel="nofollow">https://palant.info/2020/12/10/how-anti-fingerprinting-exten...</a><p>Vytal utilizes the chrome.debugger API to spoof this data. This allows the data to be spoofed in frames, web workers and during the initial loading of a website. It also makes the spoofing completely undetectable.<p>You can test and compare Vytal and other extensions on <a href="https://vytal.io" rel="nofollow">https://vytal.io</a><p>Unfortunately it doesn't work on Firefox since Firefox doesn't support the debugger API. Works on Brave tho.
