Google is making a major change for internet users around the world. It has decided to remove country-specific domains like .in, .uk, or .jp. Instead, everyone will now be taken to one common domain: google.com.
So no matter where you are in the world, opening Google’s website will take you directly to google.com.
Why Is Google Doing This?
Google already provides search results based on your current location. For example, if you’re in the U.S., you’ll see trending topics and local news from the U.S.
Now, to make this system even simpler, Google wants to use just one global domain for everyone.
What Does This Mean for Users?
This change won’t affect the quality of your search results. However, some users might need to update their language or region settings.
For instance, if you want to see results in Hindi, you should check your language preferences.
Local Results Will Still Be Shown
You don’t need to worry about losing access to local content. Google will still show results based on your real-time location.
So if you’re in Japan, you’ll continue seeing Japanese websites and local information, just like before.
When Will This Happen?
Google has said this update will roll out gradually over the next few months.
Once it’s fully active, typing any country-specific Google URL will automatically redirect you to google.com.
