Thanks, but the only difference that made was to default me into AU not US
(although that may have been based on the auto-complete function),
i.e. other than the selection of stories in the body, it's identical.
Deleting the 7 {news.}google.com/.au cookies, and blocking cookies from those
domains made no difference.
Some possibilities:
- browser-version-based
- OS-based
- whether/what-they-know-about-the-user-based
Some improbabilities:
- there's an entry in an 'undesirable visitors' list
- it's a special 'Roger' setting
(I might be that important to me, but not to them; and if they took any notice
of me, then surely they'd do something far more nefarious than this).
