Google has announced that it will cease using country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) for its services. Henceforth, all search queries will be directed uniformly to “Google.com,” which will automatically deliver localized search results.
In the past, Google distinguished regional versions of its services through different domain suffixes. However, since 2017, it has relied on user IP addresses and other indicators to seamlessly provide localized search results—eliminating the need for users to manually switch to region-specific versions to access local content.
With this latest announcement, Google affirms its commitment to streamlining access by consolidating under the global “Google.com” domain across all regions.
The company emphasized that this change is intended to enhance user convenience when seeking localized information, while also affirming that it remains committed to complying with local laws and regulations in each country. Furthermore, users will still be able to access personalized search results tailored to their preferences by logging into their Google accounts.
