Address Bar search will ONLY Bing, not Google (Address bar settings say "Google") v 1.34.81

@erikqjames Well, let’s start with an official Apple answer from a couple years back: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250349408 " You have adware/malware installed. Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions. Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles. Malwarebytes uninstall https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-bing-…

In short, you installed an extension, downloaded something you shouldn’t have, or whatever. But this is a well known type of adware. Your description is a bit different as it doesn’t sound like you’re being redirected, but if you’re seeing Bing on Google searches, then it seems similar. Just make sure to double check what you’ve installed and try to run a good malware detector like Malwarebytes just to make sure your computer is good.
