      I am encountering the following error when trying to check the weather at my current location on Windy.com:
      “Failed to determine your location. Make sure Windy.com has permission to access your location.”

      This issue occurs in both browsers installed on my system — Safari and Firefox (both updated to their latest versions).
      Location permissions are enabled, but the site still fails to detect my location.

      Please advise on how to resolve this.

          @Samvel-Malintsyan Hello, I tested the location in our app in these browsers, you mentioned and it was localised okay. Could you please test it in the private tab of these browsers?

            @Suty Hello, I tested on safari private tab and result is the same.

              @Suty it seems to be related to AdGuard. When I disabled it, everything worked as expected.

                @Samvel-Malintsyan Okay, some tools and addons can affect this or other functionalities. However, we cannot affect this from our end.
