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

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.

@4meAndyou It's night time here across the pond. I will check for further information tomorrow and let you know.

@Stephie Thank you SO much...but part of the problem has corrected. I got onto the internet on my laptop again by using Microsoft Edge, then downloaded Chrome again for the THIRD time, and now everything is very slow and wonky, but at least I am... sort of...back in business!

@Stephie STILL haven't got rid of Bing...but I am being taught that it's put up with their horrifying presence, or be banished from my laptop entirely.

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

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.

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.

@Heartlander but it's a mac
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@GuidanceCounselor Running windows on a MAC? That sounds too much like serving dogfood on fine china.
GuidanceCounselor · 56-60, M
@Heartlander not my first choice

Dump chrome also. Bing and google are evil.
