Hello, if you are in Russia google redirect in Russia, it is google fault.

try to set the home page to https://www.google.com/ncr to avoid redirect or if you want specific searches try Mycroft Project search engines plugins

thank you

Yes, I have tried to use the ncr suffix. I am surprised that the vpn we have for Finland (so we can watch such programs) get redirected to Russian instead.
