Have you tried the "Google in English" link at the bottom of the page? |
| 11 |
I just tried it and it returned in English at the same session after |
| 12 |
closing the page. As firefox mantains your session, I believe its a |
| 13 |
solution. I have no brazilian links when I search for English words |
| 14 |
(at least not at the top of the list). |

I use firefox all the time, but Konqueror is fine, so is Opera, never |
| 25 |
benchmarked any of those neither tried different pages, but I like |
| 26 |
Opera because I used to run it on Windows few years ago. |
