I tried clicking 'use my precise location' at the bottom of the results page, then refusing to share my location when Firefox opened up the 'share location' options menu. This set my location to 'unavailable', but a search for 'local pizza' gave me results for London, so I'm guessing it used my location regardless.
Even DuckDuckGo regionalises some results, but only to the level of country.
Cheers, Mia
