Problem Description

For Websites "containerised" in Ferdium that work with/only a location. Consider a "spoofing" solution to "report" GPRS coordinates. That way multiple sites can be saved to work on.

Proposed Solution

This really needs to be done on a per-app basis. So that each app/webapp inside Ferdium can have its own coordinates and report back to the app.

Ferdium is only wrapping/exposing Chromium tabs which are used to render the websites of the services. Location spoofing, if it was a feature of the website, would show up in the rendered page. This will not be something that Ferdium can implement internally.

Location spoofing, if it was a feature of the website, would show up in the rendered page.

Location could be a requirement of a website. Thus Ferdium cannot work with such sites. If it is "wrapping" Chromium - can chrome based plugins be a feature request?

already logged #135

Replied also to that logged request. However I think a plugin approach would create a "global" location and thus ruin the point of per app/website location spoofing. When apps/websites offer content to certain locations, this request becomes more and more valid. I don't agree it cannot be done: especially when plugins already exist to do it for browsers.
