Did the last update 'remove' ability to change search engine from bing to anything else. As well as removing the ability to change font size. This one I rectified by increasing the 'zoom' from 100% to 115". Some of us need glasses for our glasses..

Some suggestions for getting rid of Bing.
Using Google in search bar redirects to Bing!
Safari 10 removed minimum font size. Quit Safari. Copy and paste the Terminal command from this article into Terminal. The last 2 digits (14) can be changed to your desired size. Then hit return. Reopen Safari.
Hi,
Regarding changing the browser from Bing to Google or even Duck Duck Go. I already had my 'preference' as something other than Bing. I followed your instruction regarding the extensions. Only have two of them. Last Pass and Ad Block Plus. I removed 'click' from one, restarted, no change. I then removed 'click' from Last Pass, no change again.
Regarding, the 'font'. I still have El Capitan 10.11.6. I could not do the 'terminal, as I read thru the answer, it said that was only good for Sierra. I tried to install Sierra, but did not have enough memory left to upgrade.
I then installed 'stylus'. That did not work, as I do not know anything about CSS sheets. and when I went thru all the steps, I was like 'duh'.
Thanks anyway.

Hello again. I was able to change the browser to DuckDuckGo. I was reading more on this 'situation' and one of the 'suggestions' was to restart computer holding the "Shift Key". It WORKED. When I rebooted and went to Safari, DuckDuck was my browser.
last OS X el capitan update removed ability to change search engine
