On Youtube's browse page I am shown the most viewed videos in my country. Even if I change my country in the settings, it will still show the same results. I would like to see the most viewed videos of each category without the location bias.

Where are you changing the settings ? The one at the bottom works. To prove it the most viewed video in Mexico : Ronaldinho vs Ronaldo. – phwd♦ Mar 21 '11 at 6:14

i guess they are detecting your location through your public ip address, you can use proxy web servers to over come this situtation

No, it doesn't uses the IP Geolocation, since the other answer works. – Jader Dias Mar 21 '11 at 13:46

As Philipe Harewood pointed out, it's not enough to change the country in the account settings, you must change it in the Browse page footer.
