Annoying Location Error

[rough quail]

Hey guys I can't get this stupid error to stop, firefox keeps insisting I need to change this setting to share my location yet. Is this something I can only fix with admin because due to personal issues I'm a normal user, can I still fix this without using admin. If it's possible but only with admin you can still tell me how, cus I could still do it, it'll just be more annoying. I attached my laptop specifications, I hope this is able to be solve despite being more browser related then pc related. Please @ or dm me if you have solution thank you.

forgot this screenshot

I thought of deleting the com surrogate file but that seems important as it was under system32, I've checked my browser settings and my firefox has access to my location, so I don't really get it is this a important error or malware

or so I'm even more confused because I used chrome for a second and this issue doesn't happen there

ok so i checked and it only seems to bother me when i use google?

see if this requires admin access

i turned that off notifications keep coming but only when i use google

see @elder pine

[elder pine]

you will probably need to change that setting in your google account or in chrome

[rough quail]

but i use firefox

@elder pine

[elder pine]

ok then change it in your google account]

[rough quail]

i have to change something in my google account to fix something in my microsoft account?

are you sure admin account couldn't just fix this

[elder pine]

try changing it in everything you're using. i have no idea what would need the permissions changed

i dont know how many different things are going to cause an issue

[rough quail]

it seems to be in microsoft edge and firefox only and under my google account

dear god this is stupid though

let me know if you can think of anything else thanks

@elder pine

so it was a problem with my google account but i was being gaslit into it being a windows issue

wtf

from the ss i knew it was google instantly, if you want a search engine to use with firefox use something that doesnt want your location and isnt as predatory

[rough quail]

I'm aware they violate your privacy but so does discord and most big companies, the fact is they're still a great search engine, minus the political bias and they have a lot of great services like google drive @zenith moon

[zenith moon]

can still use those services while searching though duckduckgo which uses google as a base

vs tiktok and instagram, whatsapp, googles tos, is bad but isnt nearly the worst

[rough quail]

that's true maybe I'll try that, discord still violates your privacy thou

[rough quail]

strangely I don't have this issue in incognito mode?
