Google Chrome Keeps Asking for Permission to Find Devices on Local Networks

Another person made a thread about this same issue but I wasn’t able to reply to that thread because I guess it was “old” (November 2024). Here’s that thread: How can I disable "Local Network" permiss… - Apple Community.


Anyways, I have the exact same issue as that person. Every so often I get asked by MacOS “Allow ‘Google Chrome’ to find devices on local networks? This will allow you to select from available devices and display content on them”. I have tried selecting Allow and I have tried selecting Don’t Allow. It doesn’t make a difference. Either way, MacOS will ask me again.


I should not have to keep answering the same prompt.





MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.3
