Is Location Guard (V3) safe?
Reports an altered or fixed location to websites that request browser geolocation.
This extension changes JavaScript-based geolocation results so websites receive either a location with random noise added or a fixed location you choose. It does not change IP-based location detection, so websites may still estimate a coarse location from your IP address.
Rated medium risk because of who publishes it: 1 of the 2 other listings from the same operator is rated high or critical for malicious behaviour. Flagged: Proxy SwitchyOmega (high).

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 100k+ users between them. 2 of them carry a finding.
Shared hosts - 6 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.
