Browser keeps getting redirected to microsoft bing

Every time I try to open a new tab on Chrome or Firefox it looks like the normal thing until I search and it goes to Microsoft Bing without letting me know. This doesn't happen on safari, only on chrome and firefox which is strange.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.5

Google Redirects to Bing with Safari Using Safari vs 16.5 browser on mac book pro, os ventura 13.4. General searches at google.com (my default page on safari) result in a redirect to Microsoft Bing. I had to reinstall my operating system a couple of weeks ago. Since that time I have encountered this issue. Don't remember downloading anything -- unless it was from a trusted web site -- but I guess I must have. I would like to correct this problem. Would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you.

This means that in chrome and Firefox your default search engine is set to bing. go in to the settings of both browsers and change your default search engine

Check Firefox and Chrome default browser Settings for Home and default search engine. Each app will have its own reference.

For instance, Firefox Settings has this to allow you to designate a default search:

Firefox Home will have a similar setting:
