I keep overriding the home webpage to https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl but occasionally Google will still redirect me to Google.com.my with it's localized search. I don't want to have Google suggesting me for Resepi Ayam!

I'm using Firefox and Chrome with Windows 7 if that matters. Thanks in advance.

go to firefox option > general tab

tat shud be ur resepi ayam

Nope, it's already at that address but it keeps sending me to https://www.google.com.my/?gws_rd=cr&ei=M1c...nBdecugStiIHADg

print screen ur general tab

Here it is.

restore to default or set your homepage to google.com only...

he's already using the "ncr" trick. what made you think that would work?

1. go to : https://www.google.com/preferences#languages

2. go crazy

Doesn't work! I'm still getting local suggestions.

Where do I go from here? I still want English suggestions, but I don't want them localized. This is seroiously an annoying feature.

Thanks to the both of you.

go here, use Google SSL (No country redirect) by Antonis Kanouras

and change your default search provider on the search toolbar.

changing ur region

Thanks everyone, but none of these solutions are working for me. No matter what I do, the homepage will always be Google Malaysia and suggest to me localized results. I rally don't want to see "Artis tempatan" when I'm searching for "art".

Even if I set to Google.com, it will always revert back to Google Malaysia as soon as I close the tabs.

reset ur firefox or chrome cache n history

Try this:
Settings>search engine>add new search engine>paste this code>make it as default


This is for Chrome. Should be able to solve your issue.
If can't ...

Did both of those, I still keep redirected here:

https://www.google.com.my/?gws_rd=cr&ei=yAx...8GtaQuAT1q4DoBw

Thanks, but I'm only using Firefox.

Your IP address.
Your Location History if you have it turned on.
Google Toolbar's My Location feature if it’s turned on.
Recent locations you’ve searched for.

Could be a DNS issue, try using google dns, ipconfig /flushdns, clear cache or private session. It sure works for me.

I use both chrome & firefox, but favor on chrome so totally didnt notice firefox have the .com.my problem after I fixed it on chrome.

so far, to stay on google.com using firefox , that would be everytime you open firefox browser, just use the " /nvr " trick, and dont close the browser,

it will stay at google.com as long as you didnt close the browser, (even if you close, just type the /ncr on the http link again, everything will be staying as "english", haha

Go to www.google.com
It will automatically reroute you to www.google.com.my
Look bottom right, select "USE GOOGLE.COM".

Yes you have to do this every time unless you leave your browser open permanently

Either that or refer to the previous reply about using SSL.

maybe u can install hola extension for google chrome..so you can click that and change the country you are browsing form
