Dear Google,
my web browser is logged into google.com. Surely you should like me for that - it lets you aggregate even more monetisable personal data for me. I have a language preference set there. Yet you still think that it's a good idea to redirect me to google.${country_guessed_from_ip()}, which I'm not logged into, and shows me results in a different language.
