    Hello.
    As the topic.
    I want to disable locations and tracking in my computer. How to get rid of it.
    For example, I go to a website and the browser immediately shows me what the weather is like in my city - how it knows.

    Either I have an account on a certain page and when someone browses my profile or any other account, it shows him a Google map with an accuracy of 200 m where he lives. I think that's an exaggeration. Such information may be ok but for admin, etc.
    How can it be turned off - if at all possible.

    I'm using Windows 7, Opera, Chrome.

    The chrome has turned off but it did not help.
    I go to the site and immediately show me the weather in my city.

    At the Opera, I can not find it.

    And I put in a photo of a randomly selected profile with a google map as it looks.

    On the page, he probably remembered the location and now only updates the data with the server. Try to delete your browser data?

    Have you looked at this user panel?

    I cleaned everything.
    There are no such settings in the panel.

Responses suggest checking browser settings and clearing browser data to remove stored location information. Links to official support pages for Chrome and Opera are provided, but the user reports that disabling settings did not resolve the issue.
