How to Enable or Disable Location Services in Chrome Browser

Sites you visit often can ask you to grant the location access for some fair reasons. For example, shopping sites like Amazon & Flipkart require your location data to show you products available in your region.

Similarly, weather forecast websites might use your location data to show the weather conditions in your area. Sometimes, we accidentally grant location permission to the wrong websites; therefore, it’s always best to know how to check websites and remove the location permission.
