Google: Goto the Generic (English) Google Site Instead of the Regional Page
Contributed by David Kirk 
Tagged: Google Google likes to redirect users to regional google page. This explains how to reset your google to the US version.
Google tries to be smart; sometimes too smart.
If google thinks you are from a foreign country or region, it likes to redirect you to your regional google page. For most people, this makes sense. However, if you prefer the generic, english, plain version, this would be very annoying.
This worked for me.
- 1. Open IE
2. Clear your cookies.
3. Allow your system to accept cookies.
4. Navigate to: http://www.google.com/ncr
Clicking on the Google in English link in google should reset your cookies as well.
For those of you who are interested… the “ncr” probably stands for “no country redirect.”
If anybody has a better way, please let me know. Some people just bookmark the english links… but that doesn’t seem to be as clean to me.
