finitarry 3 months ago That sounds pretty weird. In the address bar, if I type in www.google.co.uk, I get the UK Google page. If I type www.google.ch, I get the Swiss Google page, and so on. Are you allowing or blocking cookies from Google? I am blocking them. What happens if you use a search plugin for whatever country you want? You can get those from mycroft.mozdev.org.
