      WiFi isn’t as safe as they apparently think it is lol

      If the SSID you connect to is unique enough, there’s a site that can literally pinpoint your location. If you have any other SSIDs around you, it’s basically guaranteed. That’s why there’s a bunch of apps that log the SSIDs around you, to get your location without having to ask.

      That’s not even considering the entire rest of WiFi that’s not anonymous

      If you randomize your Mac address (which is default on GrapheneOS and Fedora now) you are pretty anonymous to the wifi network.

      Of course websites see where you are, they always do that. Use Tor or a VPN.
