If there weren't privacy concerns, then the SSID API wouldn't be behind a Location permission toggle for iOS and Android. I'm of two minds about this. I think that building massive databases like this is kinda shitty. But it's not just Google doing it - see https://wigle.net/. So your privacy would be at risk even if Google didn't collect SSID/location information. Fundamentally, asking people not to do something has never been a security measure that's worked. You need to implement some tangible, real protections. We don't <i>ask people nicely</i> not to eavesdrop on HTTP connections - we just use HTTPS instead.

Probably, but it would "trash which "cohort" Google thinks I belong in"; there's really no reason to fool Google into putting you into a specific cohort as opposed to just a random/"broken" one; either way, your true cohort is obscured. Unless you were studying the impact of ads you receive based on cohort, like https://their.tube.

No you won't. What BSSID you're connected to isn't sent by any browser. Browsers (as in all of them, including Firefox, see https://location.services.mozilla.com/ ) will use the visible BSSIDs if the website asks for your location & you approve it, but it's not just silently done automatically. It's part of all the existing location permission & request flows (indeed it's how those work on laptops at all in the first place).

Https://wego.here.com/ is a million times better. Because it's not Google, it's free, it's very good, and it doesn't report your location to Google. I have no skin in this game - I have however been a very satisfied https://wego.here.com/ user since they were Nokia Maps back in 2012.
