Google thinks we're all children

DemonI · 10-04-2008, 10:53 AM

I am so sick of getting routed from Google.com to Google.es. It happens a few days, then stops, then starts again. I change preferences, it doesn't matter. I have a google login that I use, still doesn't matter. We're not children Google. We can make our own choices what site we go to, what language we view them in, etc... By treating your users like children that don't know how to enter a URL you're starting to make, at least this user, very angry.
I live in NY, I have to deal with enough spanish going to McDonalds. I don't want or need to be routed to a Spanish extension. For now I'll be using another search engine that doesn't treat me like a baby and actually takes me to the page I type in. If you ever get your shit together, I may come back, but after a month of this, it's doubtful.

This usually happens if you are using a proxy or are behind a firewall.. Don't think its googles fault.

even some of my friends in India face this...they are always taken to Google.co.in irrespective of what they search for in google.com.
