Add something re location provider?

[nrooney]

From Marcos doc:

The location provider is the means by which the browser derives an end-user’s geographical position. In the three desktop browsers that I have discussed in this paper, the provider has been a third-party: Google. From the end-user’s perpective, being able to access information about the provider via some user interface allows the end-user to know who the provider is, and how the location requests to the provider are being made. That is, is the provider someone the end-user can trust and is the communication channel with the provider secured?
Firstly, Google Chrome does not provide any user interface for accessing or controlling the provider. Although Firefox provides a means to access and control the default location provider, it the makes the process particularly unapproachable to end-user. Firstly, it requires the end-user to access the ‘about:config’ browser configuration page, which jokingly warms the user that "This may void your warranty". And then requires the end-user to manually change the values of key-value pairs seen in Figure 8:

Although also requiring the end-user to know about a browser the configuration page ("opera:config"), Opera provides a more accessible means of controlling the providers, when compared to Firefox, which can be seen in Figure 9.

Note that there is a disconnect between the location provider’s settings and the privacy policy for the provider.
