&gt; 3. What can you do to stop this?<p>&gt; To be honest, you can’t do much.<p>You can use different browser profiles to silo the various google services into profile instances with appropriate permissions (i.e. &#x2F;usr&#x2F;bin&#x2F;firefox -P locationAllowedProfile ...) while keeping your usual profile&#x27;s permissions locked down (or on mobile use different browser installs to accomplish the same thing, I guess.)<p>Not sure whether Firefox&#x27;s containers could be used like this, but if not then it presents a decent use-case for implementing independent container permissions IMO.
