Not sure what happened over the weekend, but since this morning everytime I use google I get a popup from Chrome saying "It looks like you've moved. Would you like to use http://www.google.com/ ?" (as opposed to my usual google.nl).

What does this mean, and how do I disable the popup? Clicking No or the close button didn't solve it, and I don't want to click Yes because I like my Google localized.

    Same problem. Even after selecting "No," the prompt returns every time I Google. Really irritating. Mar 28, 2011 at 13:55

I think suggestion service causes this you can disable it under the hood or try the following:

Clear your cookies, history and everything. Try to add the languages you prefer and move them up in options->under the hood-> change fonts settings->languages.

chrome language options

Also locating a file called Local State and changing last_known_google_url and last_prompted_google_url to your preferred google address might help.

Do other geolocation sites also think you're in the USA? Maybe your ISP assigned you a misleading IP address. Try navigating to maps.google.com.

Also, try another browser. (I notice you only mentioned Chrome.) If it's browser-specific, clear your cookies.
