So like the title says,I have my S23 on cell data and Firefox and Chrome say I’m in Florida when I’m actually I’m NY. I turned on location data, turned off ad block (I really don’t want to do that) and some other extentions amd did a restart. Any idea where I go next?
Does it do the same thing whether you are in WiFi or cellular data?
You can check the dns settings to make sure they are set to automatic or manually set them to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Those are Google dns servers.
If neither option work, I’d be concerned that your data is being funneled through a vpn without your knowledge.
You might be able to check that by searching “what is my ip address” and use whatever website shows it. Write down what you see and then do it on the cellular connection. The ip address should be different.
If it is the same on both, then you might have your data going through a vpn located in Miami.
Please feel free to message me directly about either of these things.

That’s strange, if it’s consistently saying that.

When I connect to wifi, it’s correct and I’m located in NY. The IP in the About Phone tab matches the address in Miami
