Geospoof: a firefox add-on for convenient geolocation privacy

Thanks for the question :slight_smile: I’m not super familiar with IronFox, but this came up earlier in the thread re: RFP/FPP, Mullvad Browser, etc. The short version is that they’re solving opposite problems.

RFP/IronFox/Mullvad harden defaults to shrink your fingerprinting surface. The goal is to tell sites nothing useful and look like every other hardened browser.

GeoSpoof’s value prop is that it doesn’t hide your browser’s location, it replaces it with a location of your choice. You pick a place (or sync to your VPN exit) and it aligns geolocation, timezone, and every patchable browser api to match that location consistently.

It’s also convenient and available across all browsers, so you can use it wherever you browse instead of committing to one hardened browser. That said, the tradeoff is that for extreme threat models you should not rely on GeoSpoof to 100% hide your geolocation. That is impossible outside of engineering the browser itself like Mullvad, Tor, RFP, etc.

Also, a long awaited feature for allow/denylists is now available :slight_smile: You no longer need GeoSpoof active globally, you can target specific websites to override and it will quietly ignore the rest.

Check out v1.21.5 to get this feature. Coming soon to iOS, macOS, and Chrome store as well.
