Neither Google, Bing, DDG or Yandex does it. They probably get rough location from GeoIP. If you use private browsing, this is extremely annoying, every session

  > If you use private browsing, this is extremely annoying, every session you have to click "block". I just verified that if, in Firefox, you checkbox "[x] Block new requests asking to access your location" in the location settings, then a private window inherit this; and the popup no longer appears. For some reason, the per-site blocking is not inherited by the private windows. Maybe it's considered an unacceptable info leak or something. Or possibly it might be this: the individual per-site location setting can be positive or negative (accept or deny). If the settings as such were inherited by a private window, that would be bad because if any accepts are present, they conflict with the concept of a private window. Maybe if the private windows just inherited the deny entries, that would be reasonable; could be nobody has bothered coding that up, thinking that users who are bothered about location can just use the global switch.
