Bing inside Chrome, after you picked Google, isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what typically flips the switch:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Microsoft extension you accepted. Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome and Microsoft Bing Search with Rewards can both make Bing your default search engine.<\/li>\n<li>A third-party search or new-tab extension that sends what you type to Bing.<\/li>\n<li>Adware from a free download or fake update. Mac users have reported searches hopping through an unfamiliar site before Bing loads, a sign something sits in between.<\/li>\n<li>A configuration profile that forces Chrome&#8217;s settings and grays out the search option.<\/li>\n<li>A login item or background helper that resets Chrome to Bing whenever you log in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Quick fix: get Google back in five steps<\/h3>\n<p>Do these in order, and run a test search after each one. Once Google sticks, you can stop.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click the three-dot menu in Chrome and choose Settings. Open Search engine, click Change beside the engine in use, and select Google or your favorite.<\/li>\n<li>Go to chrome:\/\/extensions. Remove the Microsoft Bing extensions you don&#8217;t want, plus any unfamiliar search or new-tab add-on.<\/li>\n<li>In System Settings, open General and look for Device Management. If a profile on your Mac mentions Chrome or Bing, select it and click Remove. Ask IT on work Macs.<\/li>\n<li>Still in General, open Login Items &amp; Extensions and turn off anything you can&#8217;t identify. If Bing then stays away, move that app from Applications to the Trash.<\/li>\n<li>Press Command+Q to quit Chrome, reopen it, and type a search in the address bar. Google results mean it worked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>What if Bing comes back after the fix?<\/h3>\n<p>Then something is reapplying it. Open Chrome&#8217;s menu: if &#8220;Managed by your organization&#8221; appears at the bottom, a policy is forcing your settings.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal Mac, that policy often arrives through a configuration profile or an installed app. A company or school Mac may be managed on purpose, so talk to IT.<\/p>\n<p>Keep any profile you installed yourself for Wi-Fi, a VPN, or work email. Deleting it deletes those settings too. The advanced section covers this safely.<\/p>\n<p><!-- mt-nov-module supported-symptoms 48b335dc1a4c5be5472e72158d14e9445b5fdd0547cce43f6a97f719434e0611 --><\/p>\n<p>Use this guide for search changes, hijacked browsers, unwanted add-ons, and adware.

Using a work or school Mac? Ask IT before you touch profiles, system files, or startup items.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/mt-beginner-module --><\/p>\n<h3>See what&#8217;s locking Chrome&#8217;s search setting<\/h3>\n<p>Type chrome:\/\/policy into the address bar and click Reload policies. Write down any policy that sets a search engine, a startup page, or a forced extension.<\/p>\n<p>A search address pointing at Bing, or an extension ID listed as force-installed, explains why the Remove button may be missing. Find where it comes from before deleting anything.<\/p>\n<p>chrome:\/\/management adds context. Work accounts and antivirus apps can manage Chrome legitimately, so seeing it managed isn&#8217;t proof of malware.<\/p>\n<p>If the Mac belongs to your employer or school, ask IT about that exact policy. Don&#8217;t try to remove profiles that give you access to work systems.<\/p>\n<p>For your own Mac, open System Settings, General, Device Management. Sonoma and Ventura list profiles under Privacy &amp; Security, Profiles. Older ones use System Preferences.<\/p>\n<p>Double-click any unfamiliar profile to read its settings. Look for anything mentioning Chrome, Bing, a search address, or the extension you found.<\/p>\n<p>Take a screenshot before removing it. Deleting a profile also deletes its accounts, certificates, VPN, and network settings, so remove only one you&#8217;re sure about.<\/p>\n<h3>Remove the Mac app or helper behind Bing<\/h3>\n<p>If Bing comes back after you log in, check Applications and System Settings, General, Login Items &amp; Extensions. Look for things installed around when Bing first appeared.<\/p>\n<p>Timing alone isn&#8217;t enough. Look for a real link, such as a matching extension, a profile mentioning the app, or an app that advertises browser search features.<\/p>\n<p>Uninstall the unwanted app with its own uninstaller if it has one. Don&#8217;t remove genuine antivirus software just because it manages a Chrome setting.<\/p>\n<p>Turn off that app&#8217;s background permission too. Choose reversible options where you can, and save your work before restarting.<\/p>\n<p>Stubborn helpers sometimes run from a LaunchAgent or LaunchDaemon file. Ask someone experienced to check the exact file before you change it.<\/p>\n<p>Never empty Library folders or delete every launch file. Those places also hold legitimate updaters, backup tools, and device drivers.<\/p>\n<p><!-- mt-beginner-module advanced-chrome bced178654a40301b48cfb5b515e8d9ecda705022fd4fb450959f43fddebe201 --><\/p>\n<h4>Test a clean Chrome profile first<\/h4>\n<p>Open Chrome&#8217;s profile menu and add a new profile just for testing. Leave sync off and skip importing extensions, then repeat your search.<\/p>\n<p>Works there? Then the old profile&#8217;s settings or extensions are to blame, though an outside app might still be aiming at that profile alone.<\/p>\n<p>Fails in both? Turn to policies and Mac apps. Keep the old profile intact, and don&#8217;t copy everything from it into the new one.<\/p>\n<p>Hold on to the old profile until its bookmarks and passwords are safely saved. Import only what you need after you&#8217;ve found what was switching Chrome to Bing.<\/p>\n<h4>Only edit Chrome&#8217;s files with expert guidance<\/h4>\n<p>The Web Data file stores far more than search settings. Never rename it across all profiles or run cleanup scripts that touch every profile.<\/p>\n<p>If an expert recommends a file-level fix, check chrome:\/\/version for the correct Profile Path. Quit Chrome entirely and back up that profile beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Keep notes on the one change you made and how to reverse it. Store browser backups privately, since they contain account and browsing data.<\/p>\n<p>Search again before re-enabling sync. Resetting or editing files doesn&#8217;t prove the program forcing Bing has been removed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/mt-beginner-module --><br \/>\n<!-- mt-beginner-module chrome-site-search-comparison d0a10b8be52aa06bf0cf1987621cc0bbd6bd9c8497627cce5ac2453c4aee3276 --><\/p>\n<h3>If one shortcut goes to Bing, check site search<\/h3>\n<p>Site-search shortcuts work separately from your main engine, so one keyword can still open Bing.

Then try the search box on a new tab, if there is one.<\/p>\n<p>Watch each attempt. Does it go straight to Bing, or does an unfamiliar address flash first? That flash means something is sitting between you and Bing.<\/p>\n<p>Open google.com directly for comparison. If searching there works, the problem is Chrome&#8217;s search setting, not Google.<\/p>\n<p>Also notice whether Bing loads before you type anything. If it does, check Settings, On startup, and remove any Bing page you didn&#8217;t add.<\/p>\n<p>Keep private searches and account names out of anything you post publicly. None of these fixes require wiping Chrome or your Mac.<\/p>\n<h2>When Bing Shows Up in Safari Too<\/h2>\n<p>Open Safari and search for something harmless. If Safari also lands on Bing, the cause is likely outside Chrome, such as a profile or app.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Safari has its own search engine setting, so Bing there may simply be an old choice. Check Safari, Settings, Search before assuming the worst.<\/p>\n<p>Network settings come last. Only look at proxy or DNS if every browser misbehaves, and write down the current values first.<\/p>\n<p>A VPN rule or a hotel Wi-Fi login page can also send you somewhere unexpected. Those are network quirks, not a hijacked Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>A search redirect doesn&#8217;t mean your passwords were stolen. If you typed a password into a strange page, change it on the real site.<\/p>\n<p><!-- mt-nov-module chrome-extension-id c8d2bf55b2ff170c8f476d789690c6d23f487627a1cc448283ab554170cf662b --><\/p>\n<h4>Find a forced extension&#8217;s ID<\/h4>\n<p>Switch on Developer mode in chrome:\/\/extensions so each card shows its ID.

Common sources are a Bing or Rewards extension, a search add-on, a configuration profile, or an app that runs at login.<\/p>\n<p>Note when it switches back: after quitting Chrome, after signing in to Chrome, or after restarting your Mac. That timing narrows down the cause.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Bing redirect a virus?<\/h3>\n<p>Bing isn&#8217;t a virus. It&#8217;s Microsoft&#8217;s search engine. The redirect usually comes from adware or an extension you didn&#8217;t knowingly install. Security tools call that a browser hijacker.<\/p>\n<h3>Did Microsoft Rewards or a Microsoft extension switch Chrome to Bing?<\/h3>\n<p>It might have. Microsoft&#8217;s Bing Search and Rewards extensions for Chrome can make Bing your default search engine once installed.<\/p>\n<p>Check chrome:\/\/extensions. If you don&#8217;t want one of them, remove it, then pick Google again under Settings, Search engine.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does Bing open when I open Chrome?<\/h3>\n<p>That&#8217;s a startup setting, not your search engine. Go to Settings, On startup, and choose Open the New Tab page, or delete Bing from your list of pages.<\/p>\n<p>If that option is locked or keeps changing back, an extension or policy controls it. Start with Step 2. If the option is locked, use the advanced fixes.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I get rid of Bing on my Mac completely?<\/h3>\n<p>Fix every place it can live: Chrome&#8217;s search and startup settings, Chrome extensions, Mac profiles, and login items.<\/p>\n<p>If Safari also uses Bing and you don&#8217;t want it, change it under Safari, Settings, Search.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to reset my Mac to stop Bing?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Erasing macOS isn&#8217;t a normal fix for a search redirect. Remove the extension, profile, or app responsible, and keep every change reversible.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>To stop Chrome redirecting to Bing on Mac, set your search engine back, remove the Bing or search extension you didn&#8217;t want, and clear any unknown profile or login item.<\/p>\n<p>If Bing returns, check chrome:\/\/policy and note what triggers it. Work Macs belong to IT, so leave their profiles alone.<\/p>\n<p>For a case that won&#8217;t budge, share your notes and scan report in our Mac removal-help forum before deleting any system files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Chrome redirecting to Bing on Mac no matter what you choose?
