Whyyy does my macbook think I'm in China?
For example, if I enter "google" in the search bar, it sends me to "google.cn" Why?
Or if I click a link to go to paypal, all the text is in chinese? why why?
This has been going on occasionally for a while now wtf?

No, I'm just a slacker. Not working right now.
But yeah, seems like spy stuff.
Maybe my web traffic is getting routed through China for nefarious purposes or something. I dunno.
I feel like it has something to do with once allowing Chrome to translate a webpage from Chinese once, something got screwy after that

Maybe it's this "Accept Language" setting that chrome must have created for translation? It shows English with a weight of 0.9, but also Bengali, Bulgarian and Catalan with a very high weight. Chinese and Taiwanese at 0.5 and 0.3. Strange.

gah! just happened again!
whyyyy? what would cause it to think I'm in china?
That seems super weird and not related to translate settings. Try installing a different browser and seeing i it replicates?
