Hi Brian,

I followed your steps and I still get the message. I uninstalled Google Chrome and reinstalled. I followed your steps  and I still get the message. I used Firefox and I don’t get this message. I did talked to text support at my insurance company and was told it is a Chrome issue since I was able to use FireFox. I went back to Chrome and went to other sites and I don’t get this message. Any thoughts of what I could now do?

Thanks,

Kevin

If you want to forbid ANY site from asking for (or accessing your location):
1. Open Chrome Settings.
2. Navigate to the Privacy and Security Settings
3. In those settings, navigate to Site Settings and open.
4. In Site Settings, Permissions Section, the first option is Location, navigate to it and open it.
5. The default radio button, Sites can ask for your location, will be selected.  Go to the next associated radio button, Don't allow sites to see your location, and activate it.
6. Optional, beneath that radio button is the Customized Behaviors section, there are two subsections, Not allowed to see your location and Allowed to see your location each of which will contain a list of sites you've previously denied or allowed location access for.  You can selectively delete these if desired.

Google isn't what's accessing your location, per se, in the instances under discussion here, but the websites you're browsing.  Google is keeping records regarding which you wish to allow or disallow that access for.  If you turn off Google's ability to ask permission then, effectively, all websites other than those you may have already allowed will be disallowed going forward, as you are telling Chrome not to ask you on behalf or sites if they can access your location - which means they can't, and you won't be asked if they can.

No, because if you've blocked Chrome from asking to allow location sharing, it's not Chrome that's presenting this question.

The steps I gave are an "absolute block."  If followed, Chrome will not ask for location sharing.

The only thing I can suggest is doing the check I mentioned in step #6.  If that site was somehow already allowed it might ask again, but that shouldn't happen, either, since if allowed it doesn't need to ask, it just grabs the location of the device.

Hi Mike,

Don't believe that the synthesizers issue is quite so simple.
There are numerous choices so I doubt that all of them come from the same
developer.
Below is a hyperlink to a company developing a text-to-speach software. This company sells licenses for some synthesizers as well. One of them is Cerence synthesizer the successor of Nuance Vocalizer Voices. If you have a look there you can see there are a lot of languages and as well a lot of voices for each language. If you scroll down you will see most of the voices used in JAWS as well. I hope this will convince you.

First link (voices and languages of Vocalizer):
<https://nextup.com/cerence/>

Second link: Voices from Vocalicer for JAWS:
<https://support.freedomscientific.com/Downloads/synthesizers>

All the best
Udo

Hi Mark,

the synthesizer used by JAWS are called Vocalizer Expressive Version 2 and is a product from Nuance (www.nuance.com). If you want a good overview and details about synthesizers (also known as Text To Speach = TTS), you can read more here:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_synthesis>

The Voacalizer synthesizer used by JAWS is the same synthesizer included in the Mac World (iPhone, iPad, iMac and so on), maybe in another version. There are only a few TTS systems out there, for example Microsoft Core Voices, Acapella, Vocalizer - which are the most famous voices.

Who makes the speech synthesizers used by JAWS? And does anyone have stories about how speech synthesizers are made? It's a complete mystery to me, so anything that can stretch my imagination would be appreciated.

Hi,
Here are instructions for Edge, but in Chrome and other  Chromium browsers
it is allmost the same.
In Edge go to the address bar with, Alt + D, and press, Shift + Tab.
You will land on a button that says something like, View site information
Press enter and arrow down.
You will  get something like: location
and arrow down again to: location allow
Press enter and change it to block and press enter.
Close Edge and it will be solved.

Hi, I have the most recent version of Google Chrome. I go to my health insurance web site and I enter my user id and password. I then get the message “This site can access your location, change this setting in the address bar.” I looked in settings for something to make some type of change and couldn’t find anything. Well I wasn’t sure what I was looking to change. I cleared out browsing data and the message still appears. I’m taken back to the log on screen and each time I enter my user id and password the message still appears. Any thoughts?

Well this is very ironic.  I have had the same issue.  I finally got tired of hearing it.  I contacted Google via Be My Eyes.  It took a bit of time, but we did get it fixed.

 

If you use Brian's method, it will stop the message for all web sites.  This may or may not be what you want especially if you land on a new web site and want to configure it differently.

 

To get rid of this message for the current web site, do the following.

 

You can get to your site settings by selecting "view site information" located in the address bar right before the site address. To do this press alt-d to go to the address bar.  Next shift tab once.  Press enter.  Then follow the steps below:

  1. Tab down and select site settings
  2. This will take you to site permissions
  3. Tab down to location 
  4. We changed your settings from "allow" to "block"
  5. To go back to the previous setting select "allow" (if you change your mind)

 

When done press control-F4 to close the settings window.

 

Barbara

Owing to problems with my Office 2013 Home and Business not exiting a document correctly,I decided to uninstall the program before reinstallation.  Unfortunately this did not work so decided to log into my Microsoft account and download a fresh copy of 2013.


This is where I run into trouble with the Microsoft site.  After logging into my account,I can't find a link which    will take me to where the product key can be entered and a fresh copy of the setup file be downloaded.


Anyone got suggestions or advice to how to go about this task?
