Can't get rid of the hated Microsoft Bing!!! Help!!!

I have uninstalled Bing. I have re-downloaded Google Chrome, twice. I have been into settings and I have set Google Chrome as my default browser. Three times. I have gone to the Google Chrome site and I have asked for help via chat, and followed those directions.

It doesn't seem to matter what I do, every time I search on my Google Chrome browser, Bing comes up.

I hate Bing passionately. Years ago, they hijacked my laptop and, same as now, I could NOT get rid of them. I actually had to take my laptop to the Geek Squad to get the effers OFF.

Now, because of that, if I even SEE the name Bing I become furiously angry.

They are a DISEASE!!!

What if I said BING O. 😋

I use duckduckgo as default browser and search engine. Use Firefox as alternate browser.
Microsoft is making their world proprietary which isn't the world we started out with them.
They have become The Pusher of OS's

When you go into your Google browser, click on the 3 vertical dots on the upper right corner of the web page.

1. Open the menu "Settings" on the bottom of that page.
2. In the newly opened "Settings" page, open the menu "Search Engine" on the left.
3. Chose the "Google" search engine and make sure it is ticked.
4. Set "Google" as default search engine.
5. On the menu just underneath the Search Engine, check the menu "Default Browser" and check if Google is listed as default browser

If it fails, what you can do is to include Google search as default search engine you can open the menu "On Startup" and tick "Open specific page or set of pages". Click "Add a new page" and then insert the URL of Google (https://www.google.com/). Click "Add".

From now on, next time you open your browser, the Google search should appear as your default browser.

@Stephie I was able to do most of that. Google does appear as my default in my laptop settings...but one thing I was able to do thanks to you was to delete Bing from the list of search engines.

I'm currently on Microsoft Edge which is no better than BING.
Strangely my computer rejects Chrome and simply switches itself off if I try to use it! :)

I hate the way Microsoft takes over your computer.
The AI add ons on programs are another source of frustration.
Its like having an annoying salesperson interrupting your work flow at every task that your trying to get done.

I agree 100%. Microsoft is constantly trying to take over every aspect of your computing. It is MALWARE!

Microsoft seems hell bent on making life miserable for its users. When reviewing the cost difference between an iMac and a windows, it’s important to realize how much software is included with OS with no extra charges. Also that the MAC will continue to be a fast computer 10 years from now.
