Most of us become uneasy whenever our default Search Engine is not Google. Of course, we grew up with Google and we would definitely want it to be our default. If you are fond of downloading files, videos, etc., the software or the program you download might have embedded a different tool that led to that different search engine so you better watch out. Although this happens quite so often, worry no more! We’ll be teaching you how to change the default search engine for Google Chrome.
Why does my browser have a different search engine?
First and foremost, it actually depends on the browser. If you’re using a browser that is not Google Chrome, chances are your search engine will not be Google. However if you are using Google Chrome but your default is not Google, then that’s when you should start thinking.
Most of the time, when we download files from the internet, it would include tools, bookmarks, websites, and other programs that are not in any way related to what you’ve downloaded. Some files contain programs that have search engines. Thus, it causes your default to be what that file has and not Google.
How would I know that my default search engine is not Google?
This one is actually simple. You just need to type in something in the address bar. It will redirect you to the default search engine of your browser. From there, you’ll be able to know what your default search engine is.
