[NFBMO] Strange message lately

[Gary Wunder]

It is telling me that my location is visible and that I should adjust it in the address bar. This is when I’m using Office products.

 

How are you, friend. Long time no talk. Miss ya.

This is happening due to you or your phone or firewall blocking location access. Websites want to access your location to tailor advertising and for data analytics.

Whenever I edit a document in Microsoft Word or Microsoft XL, I have recently been getting the following message

This site can access your location. Change this setting in the address bar. While I have seen this on certain websites, never before have I seen it in the opening of office documents. I thought it was a problem particular to my own unit, but last evening on the technology committee meeting, I heard the same thing come through on someone's screen reader. Any thoughts as to how to rectify this? It can be quite a problem, because you start editing or reading a document, and it may come up fifteen or twenty seconds after you are into the work.

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

Warmly,

 

Gary
