So someone in my family has been planning a trip to New Zealand and google seems to think that we live there now. It redirects to google.nz.co when I go to google.com and YouTube  redirects to nz as well. I'm not really sure if Spotify is related to google but I'm getting Aussie and Kiwi accented ads. If anyone has an idea of how to fix this any help would be appreciated.

That won't work, all of the computers in my house are doing this. I think it may be on googles end of things.

Uninstall and reinstall chrome? 

Log out of your google account and log back in?

Go into your google account settings and change your location?

I thought this was about that bug(is it a bug?) where I couldn't get to www.google.com with internet explorer OR firefox. It started with I.E., then spread to Firefox, which is how I ended up on chrome. Seriously, not a failure to connect, or a file not found 404, but a "travel to website canceled".....O.o

 

Weirdness.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Sadly none of this worked. I check and apparently one way google does both targeting ads and which countries search engine you get directed too is through what countries you search. This problem is not browser specific or device specific. All devices that go through my router are being redirected to google.nz.co and ads for both Spotify and YouTube are New Zealand ads. The one solution I have seen is to contact my ISP and have them change my IP. But that really seems drastic for something that I should be able to just ask google to change.
