I'm stuck in Bing ... Safari will not allow me to change search engines, and worse, Bing thinks I'm in the Netherlands when in truth I'm in Arizona. Although I do use a VPN which currently routes me through Seattle. But when I change that I still have the problem. A. I don't like bing very much and B. I don't speak Dutch LOL
