When I search for things on the internet I prefer to use Google. Lately, every time I search something it takes me to Yahoo instead. I've removed Yahoo from my search settings and made Google my preferred search engine. I've even downloaded the extension Block Site and blocked Yahoo.com. Also, even if I go to Google.com and search something It'll show my search results in Yahoo. I'm not sure what caused this, or if there's something else I can do to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Yahoo “ Anything.

Also look for SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the Applications folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
