[QUOTE="fitzgerald, post: 1514436, member: 301563"] Hi, I'm using Google chrome on a macbook pro [10.7.5], and recently, whenever I open chrome, the default search engine is Yahoo. I really want to get rid of this and change the default back to google, but I can't figure out how to do it. I've cleared the cache & deleted cookies, and I also went into settings/manage search engines, and completely removed Yahoo from there. I tried changing the DNS settings too, but nothing seems to work :( the url that comes up when I open chrome is ""http://uk.search.yahoo.com/?fr=spigot-yhp-gcmac&ilc=12&type=435714"" I'm kind of at a loss about what to do next! If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
