One of the most annoying things about Google Chrome is the repeated prompts for websites to access your location. If you’re tired of it, you can disable this prompt from appearing using these steps.
- Open Chrome and select Menu
> “Settings“. - Scroll down and select “Advanced“.
- Select “Content settings” > “Location“.
- Toggle the setting to “Blocked“
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.

January 2020 and Google maps in the chrome browser keeps pestering to allow location. ***NO MEANS NO*** i don’t understand why I can’t permanently refuse.

I did this but still get the prompt when a website wants to track my location. :-/
