1) Why the clickbait title? 2) What do you want my Geolocation for? 3) Why can't I middle click or ctrl+click any links in the article?



1. I guess I could've removed the "10" bit?

2. I'm running some realtime benchmarks on a number of hosted service providers. If I can get the geolocation it let's me add that to the benchmark results. Granted, a banner that provides info on that would be better than the bog-standard browser prompt.

3. Yeah, sorry about that. I'm interested to see where I'm sending traffic to so am capturing outbound clicks. It seems there's a bug on Chromium on Linux where the `event.metaKey` isn't set to `true` when it should be. See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=95874
