    I’ve got several hits, but none of them have permission to request my location. If I understand the README correctly, that should mean I’m safe, right?

      Location could also imply IP address-based location, and not necessarily GPS.

        True, but at that point, every website I’ll ever visit and have visited in the past might be a threat, so that doesn’t really matter too much to me.

          In that sense, you are right. However, there are ways to cloak your IP address and location.

          Privacy is a massive rabbit hole depending on what threat you are trying to protect yourself from. Sometimes, the effort (and the stuff that breaks along the way) isn’t worth it.

          If location implies an area extending 300 km in either direction, does it really matter? To most people, not really.
