My Safari Search is Stuck on Yahoo

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the message. I didn't mean to criticize all the people who are kind enough to take time out of their day to help others. However, I totally see how you (and anyone else) could perceive it that way. Rather, I was trying to empathize with the frustrated Mac user. I also added my sol'n because I tried some of those listed and nothing helped so, I figured it out myself. I am new to Apple so maybe it goes without saying that one would try the search tab before asking the Apple Community for help. I don't know. Regardless, I apologize for offending you.

All the best,

Susan

No offense, just pointing out that there are many possible solutions, and what works for one person may not work equally well for another.

That did it. No more Yahoo search. Thanks

I had this same problem and luckily I only had one extension so I knew that was the one causing it. Earlier today though I was looking at a "virus clearing and protecting" software and there was an option (already selected) that said for yahoo to be your default search engine. That's how I realized it was some extension or downloaded software doing this. They sneakily have you agree to it because no one actually reads the fine print, they just click next until the process is over. This solution totally worked for me and I'm so happy because I've been dealing with this for weeks now and it was such a hassle!

Worked like a charm Not sure how that Extension got there in the first place. Thanks.

This solved the problem. I don't know where the extension came from, so I'm reluctant to uninstall it.

There should be no problem uninstalling the extension. If you didn't download it, it came packaged with something else you downloaded.

Thank you so much! I was searching for so many solutions and this one actually worked! UR THE BEST

Oh my God, THANK YOU.

I can't get this far. Soon as I log in the "Extensions" page is showing and any click will start timer and am stuck
