I&#x27;ve long given up on Google outside of the anglosphere. I travel a lot. Location services are enabled on my phone and laptop yet Google still wants to serve up results from the US. I&#x27;ve had to be very careful with how I use Maps since the name of a dutch city or street just might share the same name as some bar in middle America.<p>I think someone is buying or gaming search results. When I&#x27;m in Paris some results take me back to a tour company in central Paris even if they have nothing to do with what I&#x27;m looking for.<p>This has forced me to go back to search aggregators like DDG. I miss the old Google. DDG can be a little too broad with the results and then I have to load it with filters where old Google would kind of get it right away.
