Chrome on Android is increasing privacy with approximate location sharing.<\/p>\n

For times when you don\u2019t need a website to know exactly where you are (like when checking the weather versus finding the closest ATM) Google is introducing the option to only share your approximate location. It will launch for Chrome on Android first but expand to the desktop browser in the coming months.<\/p>\n
