How to Disable the Location Prompt in Google Chrome
Follow these instructions to stop Google Chrome from asking for your location.
- Open Chrome and select Menu
> “Settings“. 
- When the Settings section opens, click on Privacy and security. Then, choose Site settings from the next list of options.
- Click on Location, which you’ll find under the Permissions section.
- Choose Don’t allow sites to see your location.
> “Settings“. 
Websites listed in the “Allow” section will still be allowed to access your location by default. Select the trash icon next to sites you wish to block from accessing your location data.
You can still easily allow sites to access your location if you wish. Just select the GPS icon on the right side of the address bar, then select “Manage” to add the website to the “Allow” list.
