How to disable Geo-location sharing and proxy on Opera?

Geo-location - if you have activated geo-location on your networking device or granted permission to any of the websites like Google to access your location, they will be able to know the place from where you are accessing the information on your device. If you don’t want anyone to know about your location, you can turn off the geo-location on your browser.

Geo-location sharing is not limited to your mobiles or tablets.
