If you are tired of using Google Malaysia as your search homepage and want to switch to Google.com (Google United States) instead, here's how.
Any webpage including Google will store a cookie in your browser memory as their preferences of your browsing habit. A cookie is a 'visit sign' given by the website to your browser as a tag that you have been there recently or maybe just a few days before. The main function of a cookie is to enable any website to remember you as their visitor.
To change the homepage from Google Malaysia (Google.com.my) to Google US (main Google homepage located at Google.com), below are the 3 steps how to do it.
1. Delete all your cookies permanently from the browser's memory.
If you are using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, just press Ctrl + Shift + Delete keys on your keyboard to delete them all. The browser will ask your for conformation before deleting all cookies permanently.
2. Go to Google.com.my find link to Google.com.
Look at the middle of Google.com.my. You can see a link named with 'Go to Google.com'. If you click the link, it will brought you to Google.com, not Google.com.my.
3. When you reached Google.com, open the setting of your browser.
If you are using Google Chrome, click the Tools icon (the one with spanar image), go to Options -> On startup -> Use Current. Google Chrome will remember the current site you opened (Google.com) as the main homepage each time you open it up.
If you are using Mozilla Firefox, you can change homepage setting by clicking Tools - Options - General - Startup - Homepage. Click the "Use Current Page' button. Firefox will remembers Google.com as your homepage. Each time you open up Firefox net time, the browser will open Google.com for you, not Google.com.my (Google Malaysia).
Turning into Google.com as your personal search homepage enable you to see new features that Google Malaysia still does not receive yet. Any site will 'see' you as non-Malaysian visitor.
This seetting is permanent, unless you change it.
