<![CDATA[Speed Dial Google country domain]]>Hi all,

When I use Google via the Speed Dial page, I get "google.fi". For example, if I search for "opera", I get this:
https://www.google.fi/search?client=opera&q=opera&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

I want ".com", or failing that, ".se". I tried deleting the Google cookies, but I still get ".fi".

Cheers,
Albert.

I already tried editing the file with Opera running, and there was no effect.

If you use the VPN while accessing Google, they know you are using a VPN and will try to guess a country you're "really from". Previously they were sending everyone to the Ukrainian version of Google.

But it's something for another topic.

It's set to US but that doesn't seem to prevent virtually every website I visit to place me into Europe.

you'll find it in your Opera profile folder.
see profile path: opera://about/
