Browser Hijacker

Hi, I have a browser hijacker which I cannot seem to get rid of. I updated my mac with the recent update and that got rid of the hijacker for a while but now its back. The hijacker is on google chrome however I do not have the option to remove it from default. Any help? Is there a software compatible with Mac I can install to help?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Mac browser hijacker removal Looks like my mac has been infected with browser hijacker (Safe Finder) in safari and chrome (those are the two that I generally use). Primarily, I use google.com search engine. Even in a google search, I am redirected to yahoo search and looks like "Searchengdetection.com" is being used. I did all the preference reset in both Safari and Chrome. In Chrome, I see that I cannot remove the search bar (screen shot attached) I have SEP running on my mac but that doesnt seem to be doing it. Upon an internet search, I see a lot of recommendations to run different "mamlware cleaner" programs. I am very wary of all these programs. Experts of the community- please suggest a malware/adware/browser hijacker cleaner that is safe to use. Is there anything apple recommended?
