Is Stranger Things safe?
Stranger Things sends your precise location to weather and geocoding APIs after you allow browser location access.
On the new-tab page, its weather widget asks for browser location permission and reads latitude and longitude if you grant it. It sends those coordinates in HTTPS requests to Open-Meteo for forecasts and BigDataCloud for reverse geocoding, then repeats the weather lookup about every 30 minutes.
