Changing your location on Google Chrome is simple. Follow these steps to manually set your location using Google Chrome’s developer tools:
If you can’t see the tab, click the three-dot icon on the top-right, hover over “More tools,” and click “Sensors.”
After you’ve changed your location, you can test it by entering something in the address or search bar. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you’ll see what location Google is using for you.
You can choose custom locations on Chrome using location presets — or add your own locations by entering latitudes and longitudes. Follow the same steps as above to get to the Location settings:

The easiest way to spoof your location is using NordVPN’s proxy browser extension for Chrome. Follow these easy steps to set it up and start using it today:
However, this extension doesn’t protect you in the same way a VPN does. A VPN encrypts your device’s internet traffic, while the extension only secures your browser traffic (traffic between you and the website you enter).
You can change your Chrome location using a VPN app and the extension. As mentioned above, you can use NordVPN to mask or change your location.
Browser-based spoofing hides your location just on the browser level, but some tools might still discover your real whereabouts. If you want to protect all of your internet traffic and spoof your location, use NordVPN together with Chrome’s location-changing tools.
NordVPN hides your location by changing your IP address. It does this by routing your traffic through a VPN server. For example, imagine that you connect to a server in Utah. Now all your data is passing through that server, so the websites you visit will only see the IP address for that Utah server in the US.
With servers in [59] countries worldwide, you can change your location to almost anywhere.
