Google.com (US) English as default search engine in your Browser
February 14th, 2009
Are you wondering how to set Google.com (US) English as your default search engine in your browser? By default Google.com will redirect you to the Google interface in your language (google.co.uk , google.com.au , google.ba , google.be , google.co.jp google.si , …) based on your location.
Follow these simple steps to set Google.com as a your home page in your browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome, Opera).
- go to your browser’s main options
- set your home page as
http://www.google.com/ncr - click on OK or Apply button

For everyone else who read this site. This also worked for a Firefox Google redirection. Now you can finally set google.com as your home page.
Solved my home page problem in a blink!
Not to mention you can also remove annoying Firefox’s homepage using this tip. Thank you guys, you are great!
Great tip .. I like Firefox even more
Here’s how I went about this problem, particularly if you don’t want google.com to be your default home page (as awesome a search engine it is, I prefer yahoo.com as my default): in Firefox, make sure your bookmarks toolbar is activated [Go to View/Toolbars/ and click Bookmarks]. In the address bar type http://www.google.com/ncr and when the page comes on, save it as an icon by left clicking (anywhere on the page) and drag+drop it onto the Bookmarks toolbar. Now every time you want to get an English-default Google home page, you just click that icon. (I believe this principle works in other browsers, too).
thanks a lot!
the best way !!
search firefox search engine add on, select google english then go to “manage search engines ” remove google and select google english
Solved my home page problem
thanks a lot !!!!
Thank you!!!! Google.com had developed this nasty habit of showing me the start page and results in German, simply because my computer is set to “German” (I am actually currently in Russia, so the switch was not even location-related). Worst of all, the option “Google.com in English” has disappeared from the home page. Annoying. I don’t want to be patronized like this.
As a non-techy 79-year-old I am in Mexico for 3 month. My computor was just swept clean by a friend, but now I can’t seem to get completely out of Spanish. I hold out against things like Google whatever,trying to keep it uncluttered and truly basic for now. How do I get Google to go back to always using English?
thnx a lot
