Omnibox NCR: Stick with Google.com when Searching in Omnibox

Omnibox NCR is a Chrome extension designed to enhance search privacy. It forces your Google Chrome Omnibox to default to google.com, preventing automatic redirection based on your IP or proxy location. This is essential for users who use proxies or VPN to mask their actual location, ensuring their searches stay on google.com irrespective of their actual or masked geographic location. The extension works by replacing URLs requested to google.com using a 307 Internal Redirect before the original request is made.

User reviews

Doesn't seem to work. I do my searches in the omnibox and still get country specific stuff.

Works Just as Described. I would rate it Five stars if you could add one little toggle to Enable and Disable the extension from the icon itself. Maybe clicking on the icon could do this it would be easier to switch from google.com and country specefic google search. Otherwise just perfect.
