Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/386
I'm using flawcra.cc public instance.
When I search something in English, the results are being displayed in German,
despite having my default browser language set to English. Whoogle shows me the same
message as Google:
Which tells me to change my language preferences... on google.com.
This is not what a Whoogle user wants.
@Albonycal commented on GitHub (Aug 15, 2021):
Probably, the language of that particular instance is set to that?
@demostanis commented on GitHub (Aug 15, 2021):
Probably, but that's not the issue.
A whoogle user might get tricked into thinking the link redirects him to Whoogle preferences,
while it will actually leads him to Google.
@ClaraCrazy commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2021):
I think you misunderstood whoogle.
Whoogle is not a custom webcrawler that gives you custom results. all it does it ask google whatever you asked whoogle and return it to you without any of the bs google adds to it like ads, cookies and ofc tracking.
I certainly agree tho that this might be confusing and someone that knows the code should look into blocking? this window when its in the response and replacing it with a whoogle one if the config is enabled
@demostanis commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2021):
I totally understand what Whoogle is.
I just think that Whoogle should also filter out this popup which leads to a page to change Google's settings (even though Whoogle uses Google, your preferences won't have any effects, damn), just like they do for ads, cookies and tracking.
