Still using those russian proxies, ey ?
>>
It does this intentionally to make itself look less tracker-ish

It still absolutely knows that you are in america or wherever based on shit your browser sends like en-US for the language in the headers.

I know way too much about this shit now. You want thw solution? Install Windows in whatever language is relevant to your outproxy, in a virtual machine of course, and set everything up including the keyboard layout to the country you're spoofing

Also, your outproxy needs to be a residential ip address. No exceptions.

It would be bad for the end user to realize how visible they are... It's more comforting to see "oh hey, google is in Russian now!" Rather than:

1) be blocked
2) have it still show english (wow, google is good at tracking!)

Hope this clarifies things. It's to put people at ease more than anything. Paradoxically.

Also

Friendly reminder if google followed standards, they would honor the language header over the geoip resolution.

Only two possibilities:

1) google dont standard (no surprise)
2) as i said, its to placate the privacy concious

It's not for normalfags.
It's to placate the privacy concious
If you need to be private, avoid using google for what you are reaching for it for.

>>107653105
so move to that coutnry.

>It's to placate the privacy concious
those people would realize its just a header that cant realistically track you

How much research have you done into things like ja4+ and so on?

If you don't know a thing about browser fingerprinting, it's okay, but calling me a retard is both childish and unacceptable.

Maybe go read about this topic before hurling insults at people, it's almost like you're a glownigger who is seething that someone is aware of your schemes

Normies don't care about tracking and privacy and nobody was ever wondering how the website knows my preferred language

Half of the shit you said is just plain wrong, websites don't change based on operating systems and keyboard layout, you are retarded

irrelevant

you can either choose privacy or anonmity. it doesnt matter if they can track your sessions when you never use your real IP anyway
+ most sites dont fingerprint anyway + no one cares

you should really learn to shut the fuck up when you have little knowledge.
you do not need to voice an opinion on every little fucking thing that you read. you are anonymous here. you will not gain anything.
