My default too, for around 2 years now. The James Damore incident made me de-Google my life somewhat.

I am on a googlephone usi ng TOR, a VPN, DDG, and having turned off all Google features I can find.
When I go to a Google service, they think I am somewhere in Eastern Europe, and give me strange languages as their default. So I think I have reasonably lost my Google tail.
