I have blocked all websites from accessing my geolocation by default in the privacy settings and there are no exceptions on the list.

And yet,

1) many websites I visit seem to have my geolocation, even though I have never shared any information with them

2) the last two suggestions on the first page when I search for anything are always linked to my location

How is this possible? How do I fix it?

Thank you

These websites know your IP, it's enough to guess your location. You have to use a VPN or at least a proxy.

Hjälpsam?
