As one brave man once said: For the sake of the internet, use Firefox and not Chromium based browsers!

Smart = hackable

This is doubly concerning because this isn't something you can opt out of or by a phone with a different OS. This is data from your carriers, which are required by law to use E911, which tracks your location. If you have a mobile phone, there's no alternative.
