Why Chromebook Users Do Not Receive the Geolocation Tracking Request

Chromebook users with the Securly Chrome Extension (v02.97.00 and above) installed on their devices do not display the geolocation tracking request. This is because the extension obtains its permission from the admin during installation and automatically tracks the device location.
