How to Uninstall Yahoo Search from Safari on Mac

One of the most common problems that Mac users face is that they are unable to uninstall Yahoo Search from Safari on their Mac computer. This is because the default search engine in Safari is Yahoo, and it can be difficult to change it. Fortunately, there is a way to uninstall Yahoo Search from Safari. This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

Step 1: Open Safari

The first step is to open the Safari web browser on your Mac. You can do this by clicking on the Safari icon on the Dock, or you can open it from the Applications folder on your Mac.

Step 2: Go to Preferences

Once Safari is open, you will need to access the Preferences window. To do this, click on “Safari” in the menu bar at the top of the screen and select “Preferences”.

Step 3: Select the Search tab

In the Preferences window, you will see a number of tabs on the top. You need to select the “Search” tab. This will show you the search engine that is currently set as the default in Safari.

Step 4: Uncheck the Yahoo box

In the Search tab, you will see a checkbox for Yahoo. Uncheck this box to remove Yahoo as the default search engine in Safari.

Step 5: Select a new search engine

Now that Yahoo is no longer the default search engine, you will need to select a new one. To do this, click on the drop-down menu beside “Default Search Engine” and select the search engine that you want to use.

Step 6: Close the Preferences window

Once you have selected a new search engine, you can close the Preferences window. To do this, click on the red button in the top left corner of the window.

Step 7: Confirm the changes

Finally, you need to confirm the changes that you have made. To do this, open a new window in Safari and check the search engine that is being used. If the search engine that you selected is being used, then you have successfully uninstalled Yahoo Search from Safari on your Mac.

By following these steps, you should be able to uninstall Yahoo Search from Safari on your Mac. It is important to remember that you should only do this if you are sure that you no longer want to use Yahoo as your default search engine. If you decide that you want to use Yahoo again in the future, you can always follow the same steps to reinstall it.
