A related issue that has me fuming is when, after arriving at a page of interest from a search engine, a modal popup forces me to select the country I'm from, and then promptly redirects me to the homepage of the regional website.

Some have a X button to close said dialog, but many don't which is really aggravating.



Google does this. I want to check out the new device they just released - "sorry, this product is not available in your country". I just wanted to read the specs, not buy.


Products don’t get to be informed about the factory in which they are made, or which shop they are to be sold.



https://bbc.co.uk sends me to https://bbc.com in the states and it is just infuriating
