Google has made some security changes to Chrome that may cause problems for those using HTML 5 and the ArcGIS JavaScript API to create web apps. This includes apps created with ArcGIS Online Templates or Web AppBuilder. These changes should be implemented with Chrome version 50.

The API that are impacted are the Geolocation, Fullscreen, Device Motion and Device Orientation. So if you use the Locate widget which uses the Geolocation API to prompt the user for permission to find their position it may no longer work as expected once a user updates to this new version of Chrome.
