Ubication prompt issues #93

Closed socketpal25 closed 2 months ago

socketpal25 commented 3 months ago

Is it normal that in the latest version of r3dfox websites can't detect the geolocation of my PC? I know that it might happen because of privacy reasons but there is one website that i need to access frequently (my college's website to be exact) and it asks for my PC's geographic location...

Captura (added picture in case you don't understand it)

Can't you just allow it? Firefox has it ask the user by default and so does r3dfox.

use this testing:https://browserleaks.com/geo

for me and you, just Allow Allow and Allow Geo API will work

I'm not sure if I feel safe having geo stuff. I'm also not sure how to get keys. So I guess closing.
