I’m surprised google hasn’t bought google.uk and redirect to google.co.uk as it’s a common practice, such as wikipedia.com redirecting to wikipedia.org

Maybe it’s cost, but I’m not convinced.

  Kinda relevant, I recently discovered that sleazyjet.com redirects to easyJet.com lol. They actually pay for that domain
