Hi Jeroen,

I agree that it would be better to follow the region from a usability standpoint. However, there is also a privacy concern here, since I don't believe we currently expose the user's region (in any manner) to websites.

I am actively following-up on this bug, and am in discussion with other members of the team. I will report back here once a decision has been made.
