On my new S25 Ultra, why does Samsung Internet keep prompting, "Internet needs location access to share it with this site (Google.com). Update permissions."  I had turned off all location.

Downgrade to OneUI 6.1, that will fix the problem

Browsing Google services is terrible when they can't get their creepy details. This also happens when you try browsing with a VPN enabled. They make me do a bot verification on every search prompt.

You can either try allowing Samsung browser general location detail (not fine), this so they can match search to a postal code (or town). I also can't stand the forced use of Google mini browser that opens when you click on Google news links and affiliated items.
