How to Change Your Default Search Engine from Yahoo! or Bing to Google on Chrome

For users of Google's popular web browsers like Chrome and Opera, switching between different search engines can be quite straightforward if you know where to look. Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to change your default search engine from either Yahoo! or Bing back to the giant that started it all: Google.

### Step 1: Launch Your Chrome Browser

First things first, ensure that you have already downloaded and installed Google's Chrome browser onto your computer if you haven't done so yet. If prompted by a security pop-up asking whether or not you want to allow this site (which should be chrome.com) to make changes to your device, click 'Allow' or 'Keep Changes,' depending on the operating system version you're using.

### Step 2: Access Chrome's Settings

Once inside Chrome, click on three dots located at the top right corner of the browser window and then select 'Settings.'

Alternatively, if you are unable to find these options due to a recent update changing their location or your current theme hiding them from view:

1. Right-click anywhere within an empty area in the address bar above where you normally type web addresses.

2. From the context menu that appears next to 'More,' select 'Settings.'

### Step 3: Navigate To The Search Engine Option

In Chrome's Settings window, scroll down until you see a section titled 'Default search engine' or simply click on its corresponding gear icon at the far left side of this panel.

### Step 4: Select Google As Your New Default Search Provider

From here, select either 'Google' from the drop-down menu under “Search engine” if it appears first in your list. If not, you can always scroll down until you find and click on 'Manage search engines.' Then look for 'Google' among all available options listed below.

### Step 5: Save Your Changes

Once Google is selected as your new default search provider, simply close the Settings window by clicking “Save” or pressing Enter on Windows/Linux (or Command + Return/Enter keys) if you're using a Macbook/MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra or later versions of Chrome.

That's it! You've successfully switched back to Google as your primary web browser search engine in just five easy steps.
