In such a case, a malicious program may have created unwanted policies on your browser. You can check if any unwanted policies are loaded into the browser by typing chrome:\/\/policy into the URL bar.<br \/>\nTo reset these policies, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open a new Terminal window. To do this, go to Finder &gt; Go &gt; Utilities &gt; Terminal<\/li>\n<li>Enter the following commands, pressing enter after each line:\n<ul>\n<li>defaults write com.google.Chrome HomepageIsNewTabPage -bool false<\/li>\n<li>defaults write com.google.Chrome NewTabPageLocation -string &#8220;https:\/\/www.google.com\/&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>defaults write com.google.Chrome HomepageLocation -string &#8220;https:\/\/www.google.com\/&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderSearchURL<\/li>\n<li>defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderNewTabURL<\/li>\n<li>defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderName<\/li>\n<li>defaults delete com.google.Chrome ExtensionInstallSources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>After running these commands, quit Chrome if you haven&#8217;t already done so, then launch it again and check <em>chrome:\/\/policy<\/em> to see if the same keys are still present (you may need to click the &#8220;Reload policies&#8221; button for changes to show up). If they&#8217;re gone, you should be able to change your search engine and home page back to your preferred defaults in Chrome&#8217;s settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove the &#8220;Managed by your organization&#8221; policy from Chrome<\/strong><br \/>\nSome malicious programs are known to install managed preferences to set the home page and search engine settings in Chrome.
