Most of us have become accustomed to sharing our location with certain mobile apps. But have you ever allowed a website to get your location when browsing on a laptop or desktop?
 
I think I may have allowed something once or twice, but I do hate those features, I don't need to be located instantly.
 
Nope, I tend not to give websites permission for stuff unless it's absolutely essential - I definitely have allowed certain things in the past but I'm struggling to remember them, tbh. I can't imagine location was one of them.
 
Yeah, I don't think I've ever given a website permission to access my location. With most sites that do require one, I'll manually enter an address
 
I usually say no myself. Exception being when I'm looking up directions or something.
 
I sometimes do not let them do it. I am still concern with my safety and security.
