If you travel a lot or use a VPN, then at some point, Google might start to, wrongfully, think that you’d rather use some outdated local domain.

Steps to fix it:

  1. Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines (copy-paste it into your address bar)
  2. In the Default search settings section find “Google”
  1. Scroll to the bottom of the Other search engines section
  2. Add a new search engine:
  1. Set this search engine as a default
  2. Close & Enjoy
