No, settings in Google Chrome, which is a browser, won't transfer to the Google search engine on a different browser. However, if you're logged into the same Google account on different browsers, some Google account-related preferences might be similar. But specific browser settings like bookmarks, extensions, and themes are unique to each browser and won't sync across different browsers.

No, things like cookies, scripts, and extensions are browser-specific and do not transfer automatically between different browsers. These elements are stored locally in each browser and function within that specific browser environment. Therefore, if you switch browsers, you'll need to manually install your preferred extensions and any scripts.

Correct, cookies are not transferred between Google Chrome and the Google search engine on a different device, even if you're using the same Google account. Cookies are stored locally on the device you're using and are browser-specific.

Yes, if you enable sync in Google Chrome and sign in with the same Google account across different devices, your settings, bookmarks, history, passwords, and other browsing data can be synchronized across those instances of Chrome. However, cookies may not sync due to their nature of being device and session-specific.

In the Google search engine, your search settings and history can sync across devices if you're signed into the same Google account. However, scripts and cookies are stored locally on your device and generally do not sync across different devices or browsers, even if you're using the same Google account.

3. Location: Google uses this setting to provide local search results.
4. Search history: You can choose to save or pause your search activity on your device.
5. Search predictions: Google can show predictions for your search queries.
6. Voice search: You can adjust the settings for voice search, like the language and speech output.
These settings can be synchronized across devices if you're signed into your Google account.

No, Google has strict security measures in place to prevent such malicious practices. It's not possible for an external entity to inject malicious settings, such as a malicious proxy server or tampered results, into Google's search engine. However, users should still practice safe browsing habits, such as not clicking on suspicious links and regularly updating their passwords.

Google Chrome also has robust security measures to prevent malicious activities. However, users need to be cautious when installing extensions or applications from untrusted sources, as these could potentially contain malicious code. Always use trusted sources, keep your browser updated, and regularly scan your device for malware to maintain security.

No, a browser hijacker on Google Chrome won't transfer over to Safari on your phone, even if you're signed into the same Google account. This is because browser hijackers are typically specific to the browser they infect and don't cross over to different browsers or devices. However, it's crucial to remove the hijacker from Chrome to secure your account.

When you reset Chrome settings on a particular device, it resets settings like homepage, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs, but it doesn't change your saved bookmarks, history, or passwords. However, if you're signed in to your Google account and syncing your data, these changes may sync across your devices. If you want to prevent this, you can turn off sync before resetting the settings.
