I use the private tab for questions or otherwise things I'm too afraid to search up or keep in my history, and it's annoying that the results aren't in english and/or other websites aren't in english. I'd like to know if there is a setting/feature for this.

Thanks in advance!

Spoofing your browser version may have an impact on the preferred language.

See:

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.
