<![CDATA[How to disable location access and notifications for all sites?]]>All guides on internet seem to refer to older versions of Opera, looking by myself I didn't find it in settings. I want both these options permanently blocked for all sites since it's annoying to disallow every new site.
I am using latest Opera version - v56

Hi @andy-scull, yes, it should. When you click the left arrow to the left of "Location", you should see "Blocked" below "Notifications", and yes it's a bug in displaying wrong information, when you switch it off, it should also display "Blocked" on the left of the switch.

Thanks, you were right, it does permanently deny access for any sites not in allow list.
I checked on several online test sites, the result was that the browser supports it but permission was denied.

Some people understand the switch as an on/off one and the string change causes confusion.

It's misleading and confusing, when the switch is off, it should display "Blocked" or "Disabled".

opera:settings/content/location

Hi, does this really prevent sites accessing location and desktop notifications? From how it's phrased ("Ask before accessing") I figure if I disable it then it would automatically allow access without asking the user

Do the same under opera:settings/content/notifications.
