# Android browsers spoofing timezone. **URL:** https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/android-browsers-spoofing-timezone/36374 **Category:** Questions **Created:** 2026-03-18T15:10:48Z **Posts:** 23 ## Post 1 by @c79328 — 2026-03-18T15:10:48Z Hello, I would like to know of browsers that help spoof timezones on android. IronFox can spoof to UTC-00 but it is incredibly slow browser. I have changed the settings needed to make its performance faster and it is still below my standards. Cromite allows the user to use random time zones for every page which I think is great, but I need another browser at the moment. I can’t find any private browser that has this feature. Does anyone else know? Before users suggest, I have already cloned the app to private space on android, and I would still like to know of another app. Thank you. --- ## Post 2 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-18T15:15:28Z I’m currently using this: > [@Geospoof: a firefox add-on for convenient geolocation privacy](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/geospoof-a-firefox-add-on-for-convenient-geolocation-privacy/36159): > > Website [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/geo-spoof/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/geo-spoof/)Short Description Disclosure: I am the developer slight_smile Your browser leaks your location through multiple channels: the Geolocation API, timezone offsets, `Intl.DateTimeFormat`, and WebRTC. You get almost no control over it. A VPN changes your IP, but these signals still point right back to where you’re sitting. GeoSpoof is a Firefox add-on that spoofs your geolocation, timezone, and WebRTC to prevent we… Works best when coupled with a VPN but check it out. --- ## Post 3 by @c79328 — 2026-03-18T15:26:53Z I will try this out, but still not a solution I hope to settle on. Thank you for showing me this. --- ## Post 4 by @anon25722375 — 2026-03-18T15:28:09Z It’s the best solution I know that exists for something similar to what you’re asking. --- ## Post 5 by @sgro — 2026-03-18T16:11:37Z > [@c79328](#): > > I will try this out, but still not a solution I hope to settle on. Hi, I’m the developer of GeoSpoof! Please let me know if there are any features that would make it work better for you. Thanks for trying it out :slight_smile: --- ## Post 6 by @c79328 — 2026-03-18T22:25:10Z Thank you for the help. I appreciate it. --- ## Post 7 by @c79328 — 2026-03-18T22:25:47Z I will do some testing then let you know. --- ## Post 8 by @polyester_apricot650 — 2026-03-19T01:06:45Z How do you set IronFox to spoof that timezone? --- ## Post 9 by @c79328 — 2026-03-19T03:40:47Z IronFox \> Settings \> Scroll all the way down to option titled “IronFox Settings” \> Click “Spoof timezone to UTC-0” I would like to say the default for IronFox and it’s predecessor Mull, was always a spoofed timezone but after a few months, IronFox pushed an update that made the default timezone match the client’s real timezone without adequately alerting any of their users and then burying the setting. That is not why I don’t use IronFox, the security is by far inferior which can be acceptable to users the speed and performance is unforgivable. --- ## Post 10 by @certainty — 2026-03-19T07:55:15Z > [@c79328](#): > > I would like to say the default for IronFox and it’s predecessor Mull, was always a spoofed timezone but after a few months, IronFox pushed an update that made the default timezone match the client’s real timezone without adequately alerting any of their users and then burying the setting. That is not why I don’t use IronFox, the security is by far inferior which can be acceptable to users the speed and performance is unforgivable. I noted this issue too and enabled `privacy.resistFingerprinting` temporarily in `about:config`. Enabling RFP in Ironfox matches with Arkenfox TZP tests but many users won’t be using this. @celenity adding a toggle in settings will be helpful too. OP can try WebLibre.

Where would you like me to address it? --- ## Post 13 by @sgro — 2026-03-21T04:56:50Z Here is fine! Or a GitHub issue as well works --- ## Post 14 by @c79328 — 2026-03-29T22:19:51Z I would prefer that the extension would have a manual timezone option, where one could select, at the very least the standard UTC-00 option. As well as an auto timezone sync. Google and Reddit both block me if my timezone does not match my IP address and if you would be able to fix that I think that would be spectacular. I do not expect you to solve my issues for me but I am explaining that their is a use case that exists. I think it runs great, and it is coming from a more trustworthy source which I like, but even adding a manual option would be a great improvement. I have more quality improvement suggestions, but will reply when I remember them. --- ## Post 15 by @c79328 — 2026-04-01T17:41:54Z This ended up being close to perfect. Thank you. --- ## Post 16 by @polyester_apricot650 — 2026-04-06T03:58:59Z How do I do this with Cromite? --- ## Post 17 by @sgro — 2026-05-07T15:18:43Z I’m not familiar with Cromite, does it support extensions from the Chrome store? If so it should work. --- ## Post 18 by @polyester_apricot650 — 2026-05-08T03:06:04Z It does. PG actually recommended Cromite for Android. --- ## Post 19 by @sgro — 2026-05-16T19:33:48Z > [@c79328](#): > > As well as an auto timezone sync Geospoof does do auto timezone sync to match whichever geolocation you select in the extension. I don’t currently support manual timezone overrides but maybe in the future if I get more requests for it. I’m afraid that may confuse people and I don’t really see the value in it --- ## Post 20 by @anon7180143 — 2026-05-16T19:53:19Z Auto sync with VPN would be great to have. Everytime you open the browser and the extensions load, auto sync would be great as you don’t need to remember to manually do it. Is this possible? --- ## Post 21 by @sgro — 2026-05-16T20:29:31Z Yes so auto-sync with VPN is possible but the reason I didn’t implement it is because it could result in too many network requests being spammed. I like the idea of this feature though so I can think more about an implementation strategy that is more event-driven and doesn’t spam network calls in the browser --- ## Post 22 by @anon7180143 — 2026-05-16T20:31:10Z Hmm. I didn’t think of that. Well, you’re the dev here and know more than I do so please think on it to see if there’s a way. Thank you. --- ## Post 23 by @sgro — 2026-06-06T22:07:50Z Happy to share that the latest version of GeoSpoof v1.19.9 now supports automatic sync with VPN on Firefox (soon to be on Chrome and Safari). One thing to expect: a page you already had open when you switched servers may need a refresh and cooldown to pick up the new location due to some debouncing time (about 10 seconds) to prevent API throttling. Pages you open afterward get it automatically. Manual re-sync is still there if you want to force an update the instant you switch, rather than waiting for it to catch up. Please let me know about any bugs or regressions. I did testing but would love some feedback on my [GitHub Issues page](https://github.com/anthonysgro/geospoof/issues). Thanks :slight_smile:
