I normally use DuckDuckGo , and the date displayed in my search there is in the western calendar. But there is denying that google search algorithm is outstanding , and I often switch to Google , Not familiar with "Brave browser" but I am thinking that it's not ap to Google Chrome standards. I will take a look at it . Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue has to be Chrome related because DuckDuckGo displays the date in their search results western calendar.

I agree, I normally use DuckDuckDo but I switch to Google when I need better search results. I have run the same search term in both ant the Google returns were much more extensive.

I hope I found it... I had the same annoyance with Buddhist calendar (2566) instead of western AD (2023). Deeply hidden, open this link: https://www.google.com/preferences Then scroll down and see the "Regional Settings" for the search. (I see it in German language at the moment so won't hardcopy) What is the setting at your Chrome browser? "Current Region"? Play with the setting and look whether it helps. Restart browser (not sure whether necessary). No chance with Windows settings! Edited July 15, 2023 by KhunBENQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeMachine Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 And they reckon Google AI is gonna take over the world.

That is not a cookie, it is a setting that relates to search history rather than search results but can't quite see how it actually affects the search history. I would think that the issue from the OP is more likely to be related to "location". if that is turned on then Google would know where you are and make changes as appropriate . It wouldn't be out of the question for the "current region" setting and "location" to be linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS ... don't know why people can't follow simple instructions. Why ask if not going to use the info. THANKS again. Note: not that I needed, as Thai calendar is easy enough to understand, but saves me 1 thinking process.

Not that hard to realize if not 2566, then it's not this year It is not difficult to do the math (subtract 543) but when I am doing research and have a long search page with many returns, I don't want to have to adjustment for every article , and then try to remember the adjustments. As you can see in my screenshots except for the time zone ,I had changed all the settings to US . This final setting that treetops send me I could not find anywhere and trust me I looked. But I was finally able to resolve the Issue and I'm very happy. Google seems to know what kind of pizza I ordered yesterday , you would think that all the info they have on me ,they would know what my calendar preference is , especially after I did dozens of searches on Google on how to set my calendar to Western ????

Thank you for that , I thought the same and tried to see if it made any difference but it did not. The problem has been resolved thanks to the help from treetops. As I suspected it was a Google preference issue, I thought I had set all my preferences to US as shown in my screenshot a few replies above, but apparently I had not.
