So like the title says,I have my S23 on cell data and Firefox and Chrome say I’m in Florida when I’m actually I’m NY. I turned on location data, turned off ad block (I really don’t want to do that) and some other extentions amd did a restart. Any idea where I go next?

Edit/small update- I was in Connecticut yesterday and tried it again on cell data, it had me in Pittsburgh, so it’s something on AT&Ts end. I’d like to thank everyone for commenting, I appreciate it.

    Also since we’re here. Does anyone have a recommendation for a VPN? I’m creeping more and more towards protecting my privacy

      I’ll say ProtonVPN (despite the CEO controversy)

      If you ever want to watch Youtube videos, Mullvad and IVPN is gonna trigger websites like Youtube, Reddit, sometimes even Google search engine, to block you or make you sign in.

      Mullvad and IVPN has too few servers, its much more likely for a server to get blocked.

      ProtonVPN has like 11,000 servers, so even if it doesn’t work on the first server, clear browsing data, close browser, and pick another server. Usually you’ll find a working one within like 3 tries. Don’t let it auto pick the closest one, just randomly scroll and click on a server.
