Yeah, like google.com. Whatever I do it just does not seem to be possible to permanently set US version of google.com as default, not local version. Especially frustrating when traveling to other countries and getting it in language you do not understand.
- loboman 15y agoI think what fixed this to me, was to set the browser settings to English too. Google stopped trying to force the language change after changing the browser settings in this way or in some similar way (maybe locale).

- waitwhat 15y agoI have that as my homepage to make sure that the cookie is set every time, and I still occasionally end up with search results or google products in non-English.
- darklajid 15y agoAgreed. And it annoys the hell out of me if I fire up my Android browser and end up on a Hebrew home page, again. Somehow I thought that we already had a mechanism to negotiate the language between server and browser. Ah well, let's just ignore Accept-Language, shall we?
