Would you mind going into why these banners make you feel unwelcome? Do you feel similarly about using the US Google homepage?


Not European, but not American either. It's weird to me whenever popular American (and they're always American) political issues get plastered all over tech documentation.

It feels irrelevant to the purpose of the page, and makes it feel like the page is targeted to people who have a specific viewpoint on a specific political issue (usually an issue that non-Americans have little context for).
