Description

Found while testing https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/39363. Using 1.69.61 (CR 127) build, my geolocation is no longer accurate. CR 126 builds - 1.69.49 and 1.67.123 shown my exact location but CR 127 builds shown general area and shown few miles away (about 4 miles).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install 1.69.61
  2. launch Brave
  3. load https://browserleaks.com/geo
  4. verify map loads correct location

Actual result
