How to Turn Off Location Sharing in Google Chrome Browser

Simple steps to hide or turn off your location in chrome browser. You can allow some sites to share your current location. It may be useful for you to get proper data of information. for example you want to find nearby places such as restaurants or Bank ATM then you may allow that site to share your current location so the website will show you exact location of that place from your current location.

However sometimes you may want to hide your current location like when you are using Facebook

Google Chrome never shares your location without your permission. By default, whenever you're on a site that wants to use your location information, Google Chrome alerts you by showing you a prompt at the top of the page. Your location is sent to the site only if you click Allow in the prompt.

If you agree to share your location with the site, the location icon appears in the address bar to remind you that you've permitted the site -- or something embedded in the site, such as a map -- to access your location. To see more details or to clear location permissions for the site, just click the icon.

Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.

Select Settings.

Click Show advanced settings.

In the "Privacy" section, click Content settings.

In the dialog that appears, scroll down to the "Location" section. Select your default permission for future location requests:

• Allow all sites to track your physical location: Select this option to let all sites automatically access your location.
• Ask when a site tries to track your physical location: Select this option if you want Google Chrome to alert you whenever a site requests your location.
• Do not allow any site to track your physical location: Select this option to automatically deny site requests for your location.
