It used to be like this: Visit <i><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;ncr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;ncr</a> </i> once, and on further requests, <i><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;</a> </i> or <i><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;?hl=en</a> </i> wouldn&#x27;t redirect to <i>google.de</i> any more. Unfortunately, visiting <i><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;?gfe_rd=cr&amp;gws_rd=cr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;?gfe_rd=cr&amp;gws_rd=cr</a> </i> doesn&#x27;t appear to have this effect. Still a good workaround, so thanks for sharing!<p>I wonder if this might have anything to do with that EU <i>right to be forgotten</i> thing. The EU would like Google to remove search results from <i>google.com</i>, which is obviously very undesirable for Google, so maybe they try to appease the EU by making <i>google.com</i> harder to access for Europeans? Maybe the <i>Use Google.com</i> link will be removed soon?
