How to spoof your location in Google Chrome

With new technologies and the use of our devices, we are constantly and day-to-day dealing with the transfer of information about us. One of the most important for operating systems, our Location. This information is useful to them to bombard us with more information because thanks to it they can get closer to our possible wishes.

We can modify our position by changing the coordinates

It is also true that this geolocation is also very useful to us, such as when we need to know the time of the place where we are or when we need to go to another place whose route we do not know.

As we have said before, there are also "hidden" intentions. And so that this does not cause us harm we can deceive Chrome, in other words, falsify our location. We can modify our posición to indicate that we are in a place where, in reality, we are not.

These are the steps to carry out the change. First of all, we must open the developer console of Google Chrome; To do this, we must press the F12 key. Then we must choose 'Console' in the upper menu. Within the menu, we have to position ourselves in 'Emulation' to open the sensor emulation tool.

In the event that the window does not appear, we have to make sure that we have activated the option of 'mobile view' and go up the bottom bar of 'Emulation' to see the options. Then we have to choose 'Sensors' and activate 'Emulate Geolocation Coordinates'.

This is where we can put the coordinates we want for different reasons, such as if we want the messages we launch from Twitter to appear a location that we want our followers to see and not the one we really have.
