To remove Yahoo from the search engines list in Chrome on your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, first, open Chrome on your computer.

In Chrome’s top-right corner, click the three dots.

From the three-dots menu, select “Settings.”

On the “Settings” page, in the left sidebar, click “Search Engine.”

You will see a “Search Engine” section on the right. Here, click “Manage Search Engines.”

Chrome will open a “Manage Search Engines” page. If Yahoo is your default search engine, you will have to switch to a different search engine before you can remove Yahoo.

To do so, find your preferred search engine in the list, click the three dots next to it, and select “Make Default” from the menu.

You are now ready to remove Yahoo. To do so, next to “Yahoo” on the list, click the three dots and choose “Remove From List.”

And immediately, Chrome will remove Yahoo from the search engines list.

On the same page, review the “Other Search Engines” list and, if it appears, remove Yahoo from there as well. You can do so by selecting the three dots next to “Yahoo” and choosing “Remove From List.” Your browser is now Yahoo-free! If Chrome still behaves weirdly, consider resetting to the default settings. This will fix any options changed by malware or an extension.

Remove Yahoo as the Default Search Engine in Chrome on Mobile

In Chrome on your iPhone, iPad, and Android phone, you can’t add or remove search engines, but you can switch between them. This allows you to get rid of Yahoo as the default search engine and make another search engine (like Google) the default.

To do so, first, open Chrome on your phone. Tap the three dots to open Chrome’s menu. On an iPhone and iPad, you will find these three dots in the bottom-right corner. On an Android phone, these dots are at the top-right corner.

In the Chrome menu that opens, tap “Settings.”

In the “Settings” menu, tap “Search Engine.”

The “Search Engine” page displays all the available search providers. Select a non-Yahoo search engine here to make it the default.

That’s it. Chrome on your phone now uses your selected search engine as the default.
