Sure, but what kind of information are we talking about? I don't imagine my openSUSE knows much more about my location than it's private (RFC1918) IP-address. For a smartphone with all the nifty little devices (compass, gps, wifi, accelerometer, altimeter etc), I imagine there is lots of info to be had.
On your Linux it should be only the knowledge of your local ip addresses and Wifi access points it sees (no connection required).
I've only seen the browser ask this once or twice, but as I'm pretty certain my browser knows very little about my location (apart from what can be determined/deduced from my IPv4 address), I just got curious.
Does anyone happen to know which Javascript API causes the browser to ask?
