AI 产品解读Google Search location spoofing extension that modifies HTTP request headers to make Google believe the user is searching from a different geographic location
Users cannot easily view Google Search results localized to a different city, country, or region from their actual physical location. Google personalizes search results based on detected location via x-geo headers and accept-language settings.
User opens the popup, searches for a place using the autocomplete (powered by Google Maps or Photon geocoding), selects the desired location, optionally adjusts language and country parameters, then toggles the 'enabled' switch. The extension then modifies x-geo and accept-language request headers on all Google.com requests via declarativeNetRequest session rules, making Google serve results as if the user were in the selected location. Users can save favorite locations and quickly switch via context menu.

付费分析未识别到付费功能
No paid features, subscription gates, upgrade prompts, or payment-related code found anywhere in the extension. All keyword matches for 'pro', 'license' are from bundled third-party libraries (Bootstrap, jQuery, Handlebars license headers). No references to premium, subscribe, upgrade, payment, price, buy, purchase, or donate in any source file. The extension provides all its functionality (location spoofing, favorites, context menu, region selection) without any gating.

- The extension requires no login or account creation. It uses chrome.storage.sync to persist settings locally in the browser profile. All keyword matches for 'auth', 'session', and 'token' are false positives from third-party libraries (Bootstrap license comments), Chrome extension API calls (updateSessionRules), and text tokenization libraries (Bloodhound tokenizers). The 'authuser=0' in Google URLs is a standard query parameter, not an authentication requirement.
I absolutely love this extension! It's incredibly useful for SEO. Thank you!
👍👍
Love this extension! Thank you for making my SEO life easier!
Useful for SEO, Thank you.
Updated: he fixed it! A solid 5 stars again. Thanks Valentin!!! (PS @Valentin: it really wasn't working before; it wasn't suggesting locations nor updating. But now it's working again. TY!) Was great! Now unfortunately broken. The button to put the new location is missing. PS I love this tool, rooting for you! When fixed will adjust this review to 5 stars.
One of my favourite extension, using for long time, but now set sities no more stored for future use. Each time to set for paricular place. Before user can view set places on opton page. look like link broken. Request developer to look into and update. It is so unique extesion hard to find other alternative except use VPN.
I have used this for years, but lately it will not let me put in a specific city / geo coordinates, it overwrites it for someplace totally somewhere. Try putting in a zip code, and you'll get another state!
I'm hoping we can get the location browsing fixed soon. I love this tool.
Seems like the issue from a couple days ago was fixed but picking a location is weird now. When typing a city I get put into the airport for some reason. Pls fix this is an awesome tool
Update Feb 12. Re installed. Appears to be working again. Thanks
