Well, its okay for Google know my location but I just don't want to be like this!

I mean, I just found that each time I search sth on Google, under the bottom, Google shows my estimated location, I like WTF? I already using a VPN and DNS changed to Google DNS, so why this shit can still see me? I try to click "update location" but it still shows the same, I also tried Googled a bit and some said turn off the Account Location History, which is bullshit, I never turned on that thing.

So How? Maybe its VPN related, that VPN exposed its ISP so Google knows its estimated location? But seems its wrong city though. Maybe its because Google Chrome browser? Because it is installed on my PC, so it knows my real location? Anyone know this shit?

root your phone, uninstall all google apps, reboot, there you go. then use vpn for max protection :)
 
If only we knew things are so bad, we would have never used google "products".
Start by not using Gmail, best alternative is yahoo.
Stop using Chrome, use Firefox.

I tried installed a plugin, I guess its not about it, its my shit VPN, its low quality, so exposed a lot of traces. I think now I am sure of this, its about my low quality VPN, their setup settings, etc.

Its too late man, hug hug.
 
Check Google settings before you tried to hide locations. Delete it all

Agree with this. I try to steer clear of free services for important business. As they say, if you're not paying for the product, you are the product.
Just get a domain for email only, several domains at that if you can.
 
Maybe you granted Google.com permission for your Geolocation before and the permission is saved on the browser. You must remove it.
 
Forget it, you can't live without Google nowadays and they want your data
You can try root your phone and follow the tips above
But it's really annoying to download every .apk, many apps don't work well without google services on your phone (some of them didn't even work) a bunch of bugs and problems

if you just want to protect your PC, it's easier, you can use a proxy all the time
 
Bro ur better off just using another search engine likke Duck Duck Go. No matter what you do, Google will find you. I've heard that VPNs don't even work anymore. Facebook will track you everywhere on Firefox. Brave is the safest that Ive used. I want a solid VPN becoz I use qbittorrent & binance crypto exchange. Make sure to use a VPN thats offshore and don't adhere to the European share info countries. I can't reember the name of the entity, but if they're partnered with the US, then they can share you info is asked. The only guy I know on Youtube that has a solution of going Gooleless is an Asian guy, but I don't remember his channel......sorry.

If you do googleless, you are cutting yourself off. It's just not worth it. You will be the "Weird guy" who you can't send any google docs to him... he will make you export it into docx format.. oh wait and send over special proticol only... yeah he's weird

easy, in about:config (type it into url bar) set media.peerconnection.enabled to false, If youre using chrome, you have to migrate to firefox first. You can also disable timezone by toggling geo.enabled to false. Switch DNS to ADGuard. Are you really expecting any privacy from a google product which are highly intrusive in nature? Switch to librewolf (enable cookies and history for persistence) or harden Firefox profile, though it can be a tedious work. If you only care about location, then toggle those 2 settings and change dns to ADGuard.

Also, are you on mobile or PC?
 
I am on a chrome profile with just a free VPN. No other apps to block anything and Google doesn't show my location if I just turn on VPN.

Is this setting turned off in your browser?

IPv6 leak, tracking cookies among the many things others posted above. Besides google services run with elevated privileges in any android phone so it is pretty easy for it to add itself as an “exclusion” from the VPN
