Share your location with a site

When a site asks for your location, a location button shows next to the site controls, and you answer from there.

A map site asks where you are so it can show nearby shops.

Steps

1. When the site asks, select the location button next to the site controls, if the prompt isn’t already open.
2. Choose Allow or Block.

Change your answer later

1. In the address bar, select the location button.

While the site uses your location, the button is lit, and selecting it blocks location on that site. While location is blocked, the button is crossed out, and selecting it allows location on that site. Either way, the page reloads.

Details

• The location button shows while a site asks for your location and while it uses it. A crossed-out button stays until you leave the page.
• Sval gets your location from your operating system alone.
• To block every site from asking, open Settings › Sites and set Location to Block under Defaults.
