I am living in Belgium exactly on the linguistic border. My side of the road is French, the other size is Dutch. Almost all Belgium web sites are in Dutch and google ads keep showing me ads in Dutch that are irrelevant. I try to train google ads but there is no option to say don't show me ads with this language...

It could be much worse. I for one often get web sites open in French...

Same thing here. I'm in Flemish Brabant, very close to the Antwerp border. Google Maps geoip puts me even more north. I have an English browser and OS (granted, with some Belgian regional settings). Yet a lot of web sites choose to show their French version as default.

And to top it off the language switch is often hidden away in some bottom corner so it takes you way too long to find it.

Give me back my old internet!
