      Hello ,

      My browser has found me 700 km from my address for 2 days.
      I uninstall and reinstall, clear the cache, cookies etc ...
      with edge no worries nor with windows. but on opera impossible.
      On google maps, mappy or leboncoin my position is 700 terminals.
      µSomeone has an idea.

      Thank you

        @laurent64 Have you got VPN in Opera?

        Have you got any other VPNs running on your machine?

          @laurent64 Basically there are two ways for a site to get your location: Guessing by your IP address, what will put your location where your ISP is located or by using geolocation that, in case of Opera, will use Google to get your location.

          Are you allowing those sites to get your location?
