Problem with geolocation on Arch/Linux
Hello.
Is it some kind of magic to be done in order to make geolocation work in Arch? I'm trying to use a website which requires checking your location, and it constantly pops-up a window saying I need to turn geolocation on im my web browser (Vivaldi), but it is enabled! The same is when using Firefox or Chromium.
In Windows 10 I have to turn geolocation on system-wide, so it could work properly. Is it the case also in Arch/Linux?

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."

Re: Problem with geolocation on Arch/Linux
Thanks for that, but it works only in Firefox. Is it possible to make this work in Vivaldi/Chromium-based browsers?

Re: Problem with geolocation on Arch/Linux
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chromium - 3rd line.
=> https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 29878.html
No idea about vivaldi (but probably same issue)
(I just googled that as well and tbh. idk even what this shit is supposed to do. Why do webpages use a browser feature that relies on a webservice to check the geolocation of an IP? That sounds convoluted … and nuts)
