We should probably change the dialogue text to something like:

  • Failed to fetch your location
  • Check your browser permissions
  • Check your system permissions

„Please try again“ later doesn't really help.

Cannot reproduce on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. This issue should be investigated by someone with the environment mentioned in the description (macOS).
