What our analysis found

Change Geolocation (Location Guard), used by 60,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in February 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension's sole function is to override navigator.geolocation to spoof location. Permissions (scripting, webNavigation, host_permissions) are necessary for injecting the override script on all sites. All code is transparent and contains no data exfiltration, remote code loading, or obfuscation. External communication to [domain withheld] is a documented feature for map-based location setting, not covert data collection. The automated risk-engine flagged high risk due to broad permissions, but manual review confirms benign behavior.
