I get this popup nowadays whenever I Google something:
I’ve prowled through Settings and can’t find any obvious way to turn that off.
I don’t have Location Services activated and don’t wish to. Laptop computer, MacOS.

Apparently you can’t turn it off.

I liked this response in the comment section:
Hmm. Seems like a good project for an innovative extension developer.
I use a windows desktop so I’ve never seen that particular popup but for the ones that I have seen that annoyed the heck outta me, I’ve used the Ublock Origin adblocker/malware blocker extension to remove them successfully.
Dunno why Google would be harassing Mac users but not Windows users. I’m also on a Desktop (well, a laptop, but not a cellphone at any rate) and I also have uBlock origin assigned. Is there any particular advanced setting that you’d use to turn that bloody alert off?
I don’t think it technically took the form of a popup
I use Brave on MS-Windows with uBlock. I get these regularly and they are truly annoying. I searched (via DDG*) for a method to block them and found none. Attempts to block via Braves Shield and uBlock have proven unsuccessful.
The problem is they seem to know when I am too busy trying to find something fast to mess around with Inspect (cf. the other that thread) to figure out how to block them manually.
