Taking over how?

What exactly is happening?

Safari is a web browser. Google is a search engine website. One cannot not take over the other in any way.


However, if you have the search engine for Safari set to Google it will use that for any searches you make using the address bar in Safari.


If you explain exactly what is happening, someone may be able to advise.


Also, not sure what you mean by "Apple 9".
