Is Hide Location safe?

Clean risk

This extension blocks websites from detecting your location through JavaScript geolocation.

It prevents websites from using JavaScript-based location detection to determine your location. The extension does not change your IP address, so the store description notes that a VPN is needed if you want to change or modify IP-based location information.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
