Multiple times, in the US, I’ve clicked on a Google link to a reddit thread and it loads in like Turkish or something. Usually it just takes a refresh of the page to get back to english, but it’s still weird that it’s happened to me multiple times.
I see google results for Steam forums default to weird languages all the time without being on a vpn and along side perfectly fine english default results (inculding often the same forum thread just in a different default language), so I’m more inclined to say there’s something about that part of the algorithm that’s just fucked.
Not on my built-in Google app. I do use a VPN on Opera, and Ecosia has a built-in ad blocker that works pretty well too, but I don’t do anything fancy to my Google other than YouTube Revanced.
