How to Change Search Engines in Your Web Browser

Some installations of software unfortunately will install add-ons that we don't want, such as changing your search engine in your web browser.

In most cases, you can go change it back.

Here is how to do that for Chrome, Firefox and Safari:

Chrome:
In Chrome, go to the Chrome menu and choose Preferences.
Scroll down until you see Search and change your search engine in the selection box.
Close the preferences tab or window when done.


Firefox:
In Firefox, click on the Firefox menu and choose Preferences. Click on Search on the left side. Then select your search engine. Close the preferences tab or window when done.


Safari:
In Safari, click on the Safari menu and choose Preferences. Click on Search and select your search engine. Close the preferences window when done.
