Suggestion: Change Geo-Provider to beaconDB

[Hoerli1337]

Hello!
Here is a suggestion:
For geolocation, the default entry in Firefox is Google.
For SecureFox, you could change this entry to something else, such as beaconDB.

geo.provider.network.url -> https://beacondb.net/v1/geolocate

Thank you! Do you have more information about the source? Have you tested it in Firefox?

Yes.
It is a replica of the Mozilla MLS services with a newly maintained community database.
The map on the project page beaconDB are all measurements by volunteers who have collected the data with the apps.
The Sourcecode is here: https://codeberg.org/beacondb/beacondb

This is already working well in Firefox.
I myself have been using it for tests since the start of the project.
