I live in Norway and don’t have this problem now. I had a similar problem about a year ago on my MacBook Air because of some software that altered my Google results in all of my browsers. Don’t remember the name of it, but something smelled fishy when the results was different from the ones on my phone.

Pretty sure affects you too as it's the same for me, on multiple networks, multiple user-agents, multiple devices and so on.
Simply just trie one of the examples like "hvordan regne ut prosent"(how to calculate percentages) or, I don't know..."DNB aksje"(DNB stocks, DNB being the biggest bank in Norway). Sure enough, both ranks on the first page or as the one of the top results. (One is now using the www.nem-varmepumper.dk domain, that is the same thing).
EDIT: Now the DNB one moved from 2 and 3 place to page 2. Things are moving around quickly.

You are right, it also affects me.
«hvordan regne ut prosent», https://www.havfruen4220.dk is rank 5 and 6.
«DNB Aksje», https://www.havfruen4220.dk is rank 10
