Google searches are highly customized to your profile. Either you, OP, or both are logged into your accounts.

Not me, I am using a clean session in Firefox Focus on a VPN specifically to avoid results tailored to me. I'm very careful about what I search for on Google while logged in.

I’m on my phone, but this is what I got on a fresh Firefox Focus session (all history and cookies cleared) and startpage (proxied google search results). I’m assuming the query is coming from Ireland or something given the result at the bottom

The Irish bias might be coming from the fact that that's the easiest (western?)European country to immigrate to if you have some Irish ancestry.
