Chrome for Android Now Supports Approximate Location

For apps, yes. But for websites, you can’t choose to only give approximate location, only a binary allow/deny. It’s true you can choose to give the browser itself approximate location but that would then apply to all websites. That dialog box with precise location overrides the permission for the entire browser, so if you just want to give it to Google Maps or something then you really can’t. Maybe I could’ve worded the article better, I meant that browsers don’t have the same approximate location feature that the OS has, a website is to the browser what an app is to the OS.
