Description

Redirects Chromium geolocation lookups from Google's service to BeaconDB through a pacman hook. It is useful for users who want browser location features without relying on the default Google geolocation API.

This changes browser files during package operations. Geolocation can reveal sensitive location data, so review the selected provider and be prepared to recheck the patch after Chromium updates.
