Location Aware Browsing
Some sites can tell you more and personalize your results if they know where you are. Firefox has "location aware browsing" for this.
It assures us that privacy is protected - you as user do get the last word.
Firefox says this on its location aware browsing page.
"Your privacy is extremely important to us, and Firefox never shares your location without your permission. When you visit a page that requests your information, you’ll be asked before any information is shared with the requesting website and our third-party service provider."
konsrtr is such a site - it shows upcoming concerts for a city - with images and videos. (Unfortunately it's not searchable - and the music events is all bands-in-town kind of thing.) It does recognize Toronto.
