Google Chrome now allows users to share approximate location data with websites instead of precise location. This change aims to give users more control over their location privacy. The feature is launching on Android and will expand to desktop soon. Websites needing precise location for services like deliveries will still be able to request it. This update comes amid criticism of Google's privacy practices, including the silent installation of an AI model. Users are still advised to be cautious about granting location permissions.
