Hello there! I have been wondering. It seems like more and more websites these days want to get a bead on you. You’ve no doubt seen the pop-ups: “XYZ-Site wants to know your location.” Then you have to click Allow or Block.In some cases, this is an important request, as determining your location will be helpful (or even required) for things like calculating a shipping price or giving driving directions. If you let Chrome share your location with a site, Chrome sends information to Google Location Services to get an estimate of where you are. Chrome can then share that info with the site that wants your location. Here’s how to enable location services on Google Chrome.
- Applies to managed Chrome Browsers and Chrome devices. As a Chrome Enterprise administrator, you can block and allow URLs so that users can only visit certain.
- Not only does Chrome allow you to block specific websites, but it also creates a report of sites the child actually did visit during a browsing session. As an added level of security, a supervised user cannot install web apps or browser extensions. Even Google search results are filtered for explicit content via the SafeSearch feature.
That said, you may prefer to keep this information to yourself. Indeed, whether you have privacy concerns or you’re just tired of seeing that particular pop-up, you can tweak your browser so it no longer presents location requests. Here’s how.
You can allow pop-ups on your Mac computer in Google Chrome by going to your settings in a Chrome browser. By default, Google Chrome will block pop-ups, but you can. How to Enable Location Services on Google Chrome. Open Google Chrome. Click on the Chrome menu ⋮ It’s in the top-right corner of the Chrome window. A drop-down menu will appear. Click on Settings. Scroll down and click on advanced settings. It’s at the bottom of the page.
