Do you feel controlled when surfing the net? So you can manage the location in the most used browsers

Privacy is something that we value now more than ever and if yesterday we saw how we had to proceed to eliminate browsing traces in Chrome, Firefox or Edge, now it's time to talk about another of the workhorses that users are most concerned about: the possibility of always being localized

"

We are thanks to GPS on our phones, but also when navigating from our computer or tablet. Browsers like to get our location, collect certain information that can then be used by themselves or by other services with the (theoretical) aim of improving the user experience.But What if we don&39;t want the pages we visit to know about our location?"

It is about preventing the web pages in which we navigate from knowing our location and for this, there is nothing better than deactivating this option in each one of the three most used browsers. Something very simple that will only require a few steps.

Google Chrome

"

In the case of Chrome, the steps are once inside the browser, search for access to Settings at the top right and enter the same."

"

A new screen opens and in it we have to look for the option Advanced configuration on which we _click_."

"

Now we are looking for a section with the name Content configuration in which we are going to look for access to theLocation."

We will then see the different options from which we can choose in order to avoid being tracked down.

Mozilla Firefox

"

In the case of Mozilla the procedure is similar. We open the browser and access the configuration either with the Menu at the top right or by writing in the address bar about:config and pressing Enter A message tells us to be careful, fools (so we don&39;t touch where we don&39;t know)."

"

We will then see a good list of preferences but don&39;t worry. You only have to look for a call geo.enabled in which we must press."

"

At that moment this will change its value and it will go from showing true or activated, to showing false or deactivated."

Microsoft Edge

In the case of Edge, to deactivate tracking we do not have to access the browser, but we do it in another way within Windows .

"

We access the Settings section and once inside we first look for the Privacy section ."

"

Within it we have to look for Location and when we press we will see a series of options among which a small gray box stands out in the the one that says Change When pressed we will see how a small window allows us to activate or deactivate the general location in Edge "

"

And if we continue going down we will see a list with the applications that can access our location. Each one has a tab that we must move until it checks Off in order to deactivate said option."

Some accessible steps to shield our team when we don't want them to follow our steps permanently. _Are you one of those who prefer to have these options activated or those who choose to avoid tracking your steps?_
