Google has always displayed a link on the homepage that bypassed country redirects: "Google.com in English" or "Go to Google.com", depending on the language. The link sent users to google.com/ncr (ncr=no country redirect), the pure flavor of Google that has all the new features and it's not biased towards the pages from a certain country.
Now the link to Google.com is also displayed below the search box so you can check the search results for the same query at Google.com. It's an useful feature, but Google also changes a cookie value and users are no longer redirected to the country-specific domain. Maybe a toggle link similar to the link to iGoogle and the classic homepage would be more useful.

ReplyDeleteI want my Google-account to be permanently linked to a certain language :(
ReplyDeleteI live in France but I want to use Google.co.uk from the search bar in Chromium. Presumably the answer is "you can't".
ReplyDeleteTry this trick (use google.co.uk instead of google.com).
