Q: geo-location inop in Sierra and OS X Safari
I just installed Sierra on my iMac and iOS 10 on my iPhone (see specs below).
Certain apps, like Maps, seem to work with geo-location.
But some websites on Safari just will not cooperate. I get the
following response:
Can't find location - error: Position is unavailable.
I "gave permission" to these sites to use my location,
but they refuse.
Any ideas?
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), macOS Sierra (10.12), null

Thanks, Ralph. This cracks me up:
" interpreted as evidence that we are not completely stupid."
I thought it was just me!
So, I will notify websites of this new practice and, in the meantime,
use Firefox to access geo-location sites that won't work on Safari.
(Ralph, how do I give you the points? I'm new to Apple discussions
and have accidently given myself the points.)
