Gelocation^{(Geolocation)} waa sifo ku cusub noocyadii dhawaa ee browsers-yada intooda badan. Waxay u ogolaataa shabakadaha inay la socdaan goobtaada jireed, si macquul ah, iyadoo la eegayo inay ku siiyaan goobta natiijooyinka raadinta, adeegyada, ama fursadaha.

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad dareentay mar kasta oo aad booqato degel kasta oo u baahan gelitaanka goobtaada markii ugu horreysay, waxaad arki doontaa browserkaagu oo sheegaya in degelkani uu u baahan yahay gelitaanka goobtaada. Waxaan leenahay ikhtiyaarka ah inaan oggolaanno ama diidno gelitaanka, laakiin sida caadiga ah waan oggolnahay tan. Markaad ogolaato gelitaanka, cinwaankaaga IP-ga, oo ay weheliso faahfaahinta qalabkaaga, cinwaanka MAC^{(MAC address)} , iwm ayaa la soo diri karaa. Faahfaahintan waxaa lagu keydiyay Kukiyada^(Cookies) . Mareegaha kale ma awoodaan inay galaan xogtan - kaliya mareegaha aad siisay gelitaanka.

Qarsoodi- miyir-qabka ah ee idinku dhex jira ayaa laga yaabaa inaanay rabin inay sheegaan meesha ay joogaan. Isticmaalayaasha noocan oo kale ah waxay u sheegi karaan daalacashadahooda inay diidaan gelitaanka iyagoo curyaaminaya qaabka Gelocation^{(Geolocation)} . Waxaad ka hortagi kartaa shabakadaha inay la socdaan goobtaada, adoo curyaamiya Gelocation^{(Geolocation)} ee browserkaaga. Aan aragno sida loo sameeyo Firefox , Chrome , Edge (Chromium) , Internet Explorer iyo Opera browsers.

Dhammaan daalacayaasha mareegaha ugu muhiimsan ayaa awood u leh inay la socdaan goobtaada sababtoo ah sifooyinka goobta. Marka qaabka juqraafigu uu firfircoon yahay, browserku wuxuu la socon karaa isticmaaleyaasheeda isaga oo isticmaalaya Wi-Fi , shabakad, ama goobta ciwaanka IP^{(IP address)} . Hadda, inta badan, awood u lahaanshaha dabagalka ayaa aad faa'iido u leh codsiyada qaar, laakiin qaar kale ayaa ka faa'iidaysta tan.

Qarsoodigu waa mid ka mid ah sababaha ugu waaweyn ee ay isticmaalayaashu u tahay inay laba jeer ka fikiraan ka hor intaysan siin shabakadaha ama abka inay galaan goobta ay ku sugan yihiin biraawsarka shabakadda. Mareegaha kastaa ma raaco qawaaniinta, taas oo macnaheedu yahay inay u isticmaali karaan goobtaada siyaabo wax u dhimaya qarsoodiga siyaabo waaweyn. Qoraalkan, waxaan ku dabooli doonaa waxyaabaha soo socda:

1. Waa maxay Gelocation oo dhan?
2. Sida loo been abuurto goobta biraawsarkaaga
3. Dami goobta juqraafi ee Mozilla Firefox
4. Dami goobta juquraafiga Google Chrome
5. Dami goobta juqraafi ee Microsoft Edge
6. Dami goob-joojinta Internet Explorer
7. Dami goobta juquraafiga ee Opera

Waa maxay Gelocation oo dhan?

OK, marka, sidii aan horay u soo sheegnay, geolocation waxaa loogu talagalay in lagu tilmaamo goobta isticmaalaha oo lagu xiro browserka ama codsiga hadda la isticmaalo. Inta badan adeegyadan waxay u janjeeraan inay adeegsadaan shabakadda ku xiran oo ay la socoto ciwaanka IP-ga si loo helo matalaad sax ah oo goobtaada ah.

Hadda, waxaan fahmi karnaa sababta isticmaaleyaal badan oo internetka ah ay u rabaan inay isticmaalaan geolocation. Waad aragtaa, shabakadaha qaar ayaa ku weydiin doona inaad bixiso goobtaada si aad u gudbiso macluumaadka saxda ah ee laxiriira aaggaaga, tani waa wax weyn.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, sirtaada waa inay ka muhiimsan tahay xogta saxda ah ee shabakada, markaa haddii aad rabto inaad barato sida wax loo ilaaliyo, si fiican, waanu ku daboolnay.

Sida loo been abuurto goobta biraawsarkaaga

In la been sheego goobtaada ma aha wax adag haddii aad haysato qalab sax ah. Hadda, waxaa jira dhowr ikhtiyaar oo lagu samayn karo biraawsarkaaga webka laftiisa ama kordhinta, laakiin kuma filna. Sida ugu fiican ee goobtaada loogu been abuuran karo si wax ku ool ah waa in la isticmaalo adeega VPN ee^{(use a VPN service)} ma aha wax kale.

Dami goobta juquraafiga ee Firefox

1. Bilaw Firefox
2. Fur Settings
3. Dooro Asturnaanta & Ammaanka
4. Hel^(Locate) oo fur Goobaha Ogolaanshaha^{(Locations Permission Settings)}
5. Dooro xannibi^{(Select Block)} codsiyada cusub ee weydiinaya si aad u gasho goobtaada mareegaha
6. Keydi isbedelada oo ka bax

Aan si faahfaahsan uga hadalno arrintan.

Haddii aad tahay nooca qofka jecel isticmaalka Firefox wax kasta oo kale, markaa aan sharaxno sida wax loo xakameeyo.

Si aad u gasho goobaha Firefox - ka, fadlan ku dhufo astaanta hamburgerka ee ku taal dhanka sare ee midig ka dibna u gudub Ikhtiyaarada^(Options) > Ammaanka Qarsoodiga^{(Privacy Security)} . Marka xigta, rog ilaa aad ka hesho ciwaanka cinwaankiisu yahay, Ogolaansho^{(Permissions)} , oo raadi Goobta^(Location) .

Dooro ikhtiyaarka Settings ee agtiisa ah, oo hubi inaad gujiso sanduuqa oranaya, Jooji codsiyada cusub ee weydiinaya inaad gasho goobtaada^{(Block new requests asking to access your location)} . Ugu dambeyntii, ku dhufo Save Changes , taasina waa inay sameyso.

Dami goobta juquraafiga Chrome

1. Fur browserka Chrome
2. Fur goobaha Chrome
3. Dooro Asturnaanta iyo Ammaanka
4. Guji goobaha goobta
5. Daar Weydii ka hor inta aanad marin beddelka
6. Dib u bilaw browserka

Marka ay timaado Google Chrome , hawsha deminta sifooyinka juquraafiga waa sidaas oo kale. Marka hore^(First) , isticmaaluhu waa inuu gujiyaa calaamadda menu ee saddexda dhibcood ee toosan ee dhinaca sare ee midig si uu u sii daayo liiska hoos-u-dhaca.

Laga soo bilaabo halkaas, u gudub Settings^(Settings) > Privacy and Security > Goobaha^{(Site Settings)} goobta > Goobta^(Location) . Waa inaad hadda aragto ikhtiyaarka aad ku Weydiiso ka hor intaanad marin^{(Ask before accessing)} . Hubi in tani daaran tahay, in kasta oo ay tahay inay si toos ah u shidto, markaa haddii ay maqan tahay, markaas adiga ama qof kale ayaa sameeyay isbeddello.

Nasiib darro annaga, Google Chrome ma suurtagelinayso in gebi ahaanba la damiyo astaantan, laakiin Firefox ayaa yeelaysa, sida aan kor ka arki karno.

1. Fur Microsoft Edge browser
2. Fur Settings
3. U soco ogolaanshaha goobta
4. Guji Goobta
5. Daar Weydii ka hor inta aanad marin beddelka
6. Dib u bilaw browserka

Mar haddii browser-kani uu isticmaalo mishiin wax-is-beddel ah oo la mid ah kan Google Chrome , waa inaan la filanayn farqi weyn oo ku saabsan sida sifooyinka qaarkood u shaqeeyaan, tusaale ahaan, awood la'aanta in la damiyo geolocation gabi ahaanba.

Si aad wax u guurto, fur Microsoft Edge , ka dibna ku dhufo dhibcaha toosan ee qaybta midig ee browserka, ka dibna halkaas, u gudub Settings^(Settings) > Ogolaanshaha^{(Site Permissions)} Goobta > Goobta^(Location) . Intaa ka dib, u dhaqaaq inaad ku dhaqaaqdo Weydii ka hor inta aanad^{(Ask before accessing)} marin , taasina waa taas.

Sidoo kale riix badhanka Nadiifi Goobaha^{(Clear Sites)} si aad meesha uga saarto goobihii hore ee geli kara goobtaada jireed.

Guji Codso/OK oo ka bax IE.

Furaha diiwaangelinta ee uu saameeyay isbeddelka goobtan waa:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Geolocation

Qiimaha BlockAllWebsites sida 1 , macnaheedu waa Ha ogolaan, halka 0 macnaheedu yahay U ogolow^(Allow) website-yada inay ku codsadaan goobtaada.

Tani waxay ka xannibi doontaa dhammaan mareegaha isticmaalka Adeegyada ^(Services)Goobta Microsoft^{(Microsoft Location)} si loo helo goobta jireed ee kombuyuutarkaaga.

Dami goob^{(Geolocation)} - gooboleedka browserka Opera

4. Beddel Weydii ka hor inta aanad marin u beddelka^{(Ask before accessing switch)} booska daarran.
5. Guji OK oo ka bax

Markaad tan sameyso, waa inaad nadiifisaa khasnadda internetka^(Internet) , Taariikhda Browser^{(Browser History)} & Kukiyada^(Cookies) , oo aad dib u bilowdo, ka hor inta aanad bilaabin isticmaalka browserkaaga.

Waxaan ku kalsoonahay inaad u heshay boostada mid waxtar leh.

Maalin wanaagsan!

How to Disable Geolocation in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge

Geolocation is a relatively new feature in the recent versions of most browsers. It allows websites to track your physical location, ostensibly, with a view to offer you location related search results, services, or options.

You may have noticed that whenever you visit any website which requires access to your location the first time, you will see your browser saying that this website requires access to your location. We have the option to allow or disallow access, but we normally allow this. When you allow access, your IP address, along with your device details, MAC address, etc can be sent. These details are saved in Cookies. Other websites will not be able to access this data – only the website you have given access to.

The privacy-conscious among you may not want to disclose their physical location. Such users can tell their browsers to deny access by disabling the Geolocation feature. You can prevent websites from tracking your location, by disabling Geolocation in your browser. Let us see how to do it in Firefox, Chrome, Edge (Chromium), Internet Explorer and Opera browsers.

All the main web browsers are capable of tracking your location due to geolocation features. When the geolocation feature is active, the browser can track its users via Wi-Fi, network, or IP address location. Now, in most instances, having the ability to track is quite useful for some applications, but others do take advantage of this.

Privacy is one of the main reasons why users should think twice before giving websites or apps access to their location through the web browser. Not every website follows the rules, which means they could use your location in ways that compromise privacy in tremendous ways. In this post, we will cover the following:

1. What is Geolocation all about?
2. How to fake your web browser location
3. Disable geolocation in Mozilla Firefox
4. Disable geolocation in Google Chrome
5. Disable geolocation in Microsoft Edge
6. Disable geolocation in Internet Explorer
7. Disable geolocation in Opera.

What is Geolocation all about?

OK, so, as we mentioned earlier, geolocation is designed to pinpoint the user location and tie to the web browser or application currently in use. Most of these services tend to use the connected network along with the IP address in a bid to get an accurate representation of your location.

Now, we can understand why many users on the internet would want to make use of geolocation. You see, some websites will ask you to provide your location in order to deliver accurate information relevant to your area, and this is great.

However, your privacy should matter more than accurate data from a website, so if you want to learn how to keep things in check, well, we have you covered.

How to fake your web browser location

Faking your location is not difficult if you have the right tools. Now, there are several options that can be done via the web browser themselves or an extension, but they are not good enough. The best way to fake your location effectively is to use a VPN service and nothing else.

Disable geolocation in Firefox

1. Launch Firefox
2. Open its Settings
3. Select Privacy & Security
4. Locate & open Locations Permission Settings
5. Select Block new requests asking to access your location for the websites
6. Save Changes and Exit.

Let us talk about this in greater detail.

If you’re the type of person who prefers to use Firefox than anything else, then let us explain how to get things under control.

To access the Firefox location settings, please click on the hamburger menu icon at the top-right and then navigate to Options > Privacy Security. Next, scroll until you come across the heading with the title, Permissions, and look for Location.

Select the Settings option beside it, and be sure to click the box that says, Block new requests asking to access your location. Finally, hit Save Changes, and that should do it.

Disable geolocation in Chrome

1. Open Chrome browser
2. Open Chrome Settings
3. Select Privacy and security
4. Click on Site settings
5. Enable Ask before accessing toggle
6. Restart the browser.

When it comes down to Google Chrome, the task of turning off geolocation features is just as simple. First, the user must click on the three vertical dots menu icon at the top-right to release the drop-down menu.

From there, navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Location. You should now see the option to Ask before accessing. Make sure this is toggled on, though it should be on by default, so if it is off, then you or someone else made some changes.

Unfortunately for us, Google Chrome doesn’t make it possible to turn off this feature completely, but Firefox does, as we can see from above.

Turn off geolocation in Microsoft Edge

1. Open Microsoft Edge browser
2. Open its Settings
3. Navigate to Site permissions
4. Click on Location
5. Enable Ask before accessing toggle
6. Restart the browser.

Since this web browser uses the same rendering engine as Google Chrome, one should not expect a massive difference in how certain features operate, for example, the inability to turn off geolocation completely.

To get things moving, open Microsoft Edge, then click on the horizontal dots at the right-top section of the browser, then from there, navigate to Settings > Site Permissions > Location. After that, move to toggle on Ask before accessing, and that’s it for that.

Disable Geolocation in Internet Explorer

Open Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Privacy tab.

Under Location check Never allow websites to request your physical location.

Also press the Clear Sites button to remove old sites that have access to your physical location.

Click Apply/OK and Exit IE.

The registry key affected by the change of this setting is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Geolocation

The value of BlockAllWebsites as 1, will mean Do not allow, whereas 0 would mean Allow websites to request your location.

This will block all websites from using Microsoft Location Services to find your computer’s approximate physical location.

Disable Geolocation in Opera browser

1. Open your Opera
2. Navigate to Open Settings > Advanced > Privacy & security
3. Locate Permissions > Locations.
4. Toggle the Ask before accessing switch to the On position.
5. Click OK and exit.

Once you have done this, you should clear your Internet cache, Browser History & Cookies, and restart it, before you start using your browser.

We trust you found the post helpful.

Have a nice day!
