Google Redirects All Searches to google.com

Google has announced that it will phase out country-specific domains, redirecting all users to the unified google.com domain to streamline the search experience. This change will not affect search functionality or Google's compliance with national laws, as local results have been provided using location data since 2017. Users will see google.com in their browser's address bar instead of country-specific URLs, such as google.co.uk or google.com.br. Although users might be prompted to re-enter some search preferences, the overall search experience will remain unchanged. This update will roll out gradually over the coming months, and users will still receive localized results based on their location. Google emphasizes that this shift is unlikely to be noticeable for most users, as many already access Google services via the mobile app where URLs are not displayed.
