Google Fix: No Country Redirect

Little did I know.

I have Google set as my home page in Firefox.  Not that I'm there that often, but I use Google Reader almost every day.  Google.com always redirects to google.co.kr by default.  I think Google does this for better results while searching in any given region.  Problem with Google's Korea site is that it takes almost a minute to load.  I just discovered Google's NCR option, which stands for "no country redirect."

I set my home page url to "google.com/ncr" and "google.com" pops up immediately.  No more minute long waits to get working online.  I love it.
