Part of why Google decided to start developing private Chrome browser—since 2008—is driving people to all of its web apps, from Google Docs to Gmail to Google Maps. And of course, Chrome has Google's search engine built-in.
However, if you love Google Chrome but you decide you've had enough of searching Google, you can change the default search engine in the browser. You can switch to Bing, DuckDuckGo, or any alternative search engine you like.
Maybe you feel like you've spent enough of your life scrolling through Google's sponsored links, or perhaps you'd rather use a search engine There's no AI in there. Whatever the reason, here's how to change the default search engine in Google Chrome.
Set your search engine
By default, when you type a search query into the address bar at the top of the Chrome interface and press Enter, you'll see results from a Google search. You'll also see the Google search engine front and center if you open a new tab in your browser. Both of these settings can be changed from their original configuration.
To select a new search engine for the address bar, click the three dots in the browser tab (top right), then select Setting. above Search engine tab, click Search and search engine management. You get five options that you can rotate between, and several alternatives will be listed. If the search engine you want to use is listed here, click the three dots to the right of the search engine and select Set as default. If you don't see the search option you want, click Add next to Site Search below the search engine list.
