(I ain’t no genie-ass)
Kind a late this but I’ve noticed it since yesterday. At home and at work. It’s irritating because in my experience the two turn up different results.
But we speak English too! (The language option is separate from the geographic variants)
The ‘/ncr’ (no, I can’t figure it either) is only working intermittently for me - sometimes I still get redirected. However, using the search bar in Firefox gives results from google.com.
