Even a great firewall of Europe would not make this kind of censorship work.
- jahnu 12y agoMany people in the EU, including myself, don't bother with the localised versions of Google since the results can be annoying. Having said that it really is frustrating not to be able to easily restrict a search all the EU ccTLDs.
- weinzierl 12y agoExcept for local search (shops and restaurants for me) I never use the German version of Google, it's so much worse. Sometimes I use the German version accidentally and it feels like Google is broken somehow. The most annoying thing is, that when you type google.com (instead of google.de for example) you still get the localized version. I don't keep Google cookies for long, so http://www.google.com/ncr http://www.google.com/ncr is in my muscle memory.
