Google has updated its Chrome web browser on Android to allow users to share their approximate location with websites instead of their precise location. This change addresses privacy concerns, as many websites do not require exact location data for their services. Users can still opt to share their precise location when necessary. Additionally, Google plans to introduce a new API for web developers, enabling them to request either approximate or precise location data based on their needs. This update aims to enhance user privacy while maintaining functionality for web applications.
