US search results from UK

[Lawterian]

Description of the issue: I was having a regular search experience with Brave but when I needed to search for something I needed to buy, I noticed all the listings are in dollars and all the websites are in .com rather than .co.uk as usual. I naturally checked for browser VPN, my extensions, system/desktop VPN, settings for language and search are English (United Kingdom), anonymous searches are manually set to UK too, quick settings also UK, even the filters below the search bar are set to United Kingdom. I have no idea why all the sudden I’m having US results unless the browser is defaulting to the location of the system DNS address which is 1.1.1.1, assumingly in US.
How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Open Browser and Search for a Product

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave): Version 1.76.73 Chromium: 134.0.6998.45 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information: N/A

Example for Ireland

In the Brave Search field (NOT in the URL address field), enter:

news site:ie

. . . and scroll down (skipping the “Top Stories”) the search results page. (Note: “ie” is country code for Ireland.)
