I’ve successfully gotten rid of it so many times but it just comes back so now I don’t even bother. Has ruined chrome for me.

It’s malware that makes it so that your start search is in Yahoo

I used to have the same issue with bing. I hate bing. It’s so annoying.

I’m glad I use a MacBook now. Haven’t had any sh-it on my computer since I bought it.

I heard yahoo finance is great. I use google, smart page, and duckduckgo, etc. I am somewhat security, privacy conscious and used to be more computer savvy back in the day. I still am, but never learned how to program or anything lol.

Oh and Marissa Mayer turned yahoo around. I think Yahoo sucks and ultimately failed, but I remember she looked pretty hot for being the CEO haha lol!!!

Ya, the ‘virus’ sucks? Is it technically a virus? Ya, Yahoo has horrible links that are probably more likely to be ads, spam, or bad links with virus lol.

Is chrome worth it.

It’s such a resource hog.

Also quitting Edge it’s so slow.

Yahoo is mostly a content and financial news site now I think

It will be like clean OS install. You can weed out all the junk you collected.

There’s good alternative browsers.

Have you heard of arc browser for mobile.

I been hearing about it but only just downloaded it since this topic posted
