While web surfing on Microsoft Edge Chromium, few websites may attempt to track your nearby or accurate location. Several websites like e-commerce, travel, restaurants, and search engines try to show you the relevant products and information in your location. Therefore, in this blog post, we will reveal an easy method to block websites from tracking your location on Microsoft Edge.
Although, sharing location with a website is not always be a poor impact rather it has its own benefits. With the help of it, you can easily maintain privacy concerns for many people. Besides, even though you will receive a consent prompt but it’s easy to make a mistake. However, if you earlier allowed a site to know your location, Chromium Edge makes it simple to switch the settings to block the website. Here, you’ll learn the steps to block an allowed website from tracking your location. (If you’re using Google Chrome, then use these instructions.)
