How To Disable Geolocation In Google Chrome


The Google Chrome browser, much like Firefox, has a geolocation feature. Geolocation in this context means that websites and services can utilize the user's location to provide personalized contents. A basic example would be a website that displays information based on the visitor's location in the world. A weather report website could benefit from this for instance.
But geolocationdoes raise the alarm bells of some users who prefer not to be traceable at all. Geolocation is by default disabled in Firefox.
Google Chrome handles the matter slightly different. Geolocation is enabled but will only be accessible by a website or service is the user accepts it first.
