There shouldn't be a default. By default, browsers should just not send the header, which would signal the web site to do whatever stupid thing its developers conjure up. But if the header is sent, it should override the server-side-stupidity. This would solve the "but by default it's English!" objection.
- account42 1y agoCurrently Browsers default to sending the Browser/OS UI language. Which is an good default because users can understand that language (they are using that for the UI after all) unlike whatever your GeoIP provider says. The "but by default it's English!" objection never had any merit.
