Permanently allow Chrome to access location

Question

Recently, Google Chrome keeps loosing the ability to detect my location. When I open Google Maps, it has the icon indicating This site has been blocked from accessing your location and when I click it, a dialog containing Location is turned off in Mac system preferences is shown:

So I have to go to Enable Location Services:

But I am sure that I have done this several times recently. It seems that this setting is lost regularly (maybe for every Chrome auto-update?). How can I make this setting permanent?

Answer 1

This is tracked here (I think.) Sounds like it's fixed and hopefully will be corrected in a coming chrome version.

Answer 2

This setting is permanent from the System's perspective, so this is a bug with Google Chrome. You're probably right that the auto-update process is causing problems.

You can try completely uninstalling Chrome and installing it, since that might fix some installation issue that was causing this to manifest.
