Add-on for changing time zone/geolocation

[jarsealer]

When visiting a website on a VPN, websites will still be able to see your system's time zone which may be different than your VPN's or proxy's IP address location. This can be a privacy concern for those who want to hide their geolocation.

I was wondering if it could be possible we have an add-on like https://github.com/www1z4rd/cloaq which can spoof the system time zone to something else. You can change the timezone by using the (TZ) environment variable in the terminal to run Pale Moon like:

Code: Select all

TZ=America/New_York palemoon

But I think this is a bit inconvenient and an extension could be had for ease of use.

If Windows, maybe you could do something with TZUTIL ?

Code: Select all

Windows Time Zone Utility

Usage:
TZUTIL </? | /g | /s TimeZoneID[_dstoff] | /l>

Parameters:
    /? Displays usage information.

    /g Displays the current time zone ID.

    /s TimeZoneID[_dstoff]
       Sets the current time zone using the specified time zone ID.
       The _dstoff suffix disables Daylight Saving Time adjustments
       for the time zone (where applicable).

    /l Lists all valid time zone IDs and display names. The output will
       be: 
           <display name>
           <time zone ID>

Examples:
    TZUTIL /g
    TZUTIL /s "Pacific Standard Time"
    TZUTIL /s "Pacific Standard Time_dstoff"

Remarks:
    An exit code of 0 indicates the command completed successfully.

Could work for Windows users I guess, but an option for Linux would be nice.
