I often get the "Allow * to find devices on local networks" prompt. I always answer "Don't Allow" and everything works just fine. MacOS 15.3.1 Chrome 134.0.6998.89 The annoyance: Google Chrome prompting me to allow access to local networks Privacy & Security mess: Security and Privacy Screen from OP's Computer I'm wondering if each time a new profile or an incognito window is established chrome adds a new entry on the S&P screen and then asks for permission to look for devices on the network. However, I'm not so sure of this since while researching this more, I just got prompted again and checked the number of Chrome entries in system settings: there are now 11 entries for chrome. I am using an existing profile. How can I configure Chrome to not ask for this permission? How can I configure the Mac to turn off this prompt for all applications?
