2 Fast Ways to Remove Bing from Chrome: PC, Mac, & Mobile

• On a computer, you can delete all Bing-related extensions, select a different default search engine, and change your startup page.
• On an Android or iPhone, you can change your default search engine to Google, DuckDuckGo, and others.
• Searching the web from the Windows 11 search bar will always open Bing in Microsoft Edge. To avoid this, search from Chrome only.

On a Computer

Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu ⋮. You'll find this menu at the upper-right corner of Chrome.

Click Extensions on the menu. This displays a list of all browser extensions installed in Chrome.

Remove any Bing-related browser extensions. If you see any extensions like Microsoft Rewards, Give with Bing, Bing Pages, or Microsoft Bing FrontPage, you can click Remove to delete it from Chrome. These extensions rely on Bing, removing them will bring you closer to removing Bing from Chrome. If you see any other browser extensions you don't want or don't use, you can remove those as well.

Click the three-dot menu and select Settings. This is the same three-dot menu you clicked earlier.

Click Search engine. It's in the left column.

Select a search engine other than Bing from the drop-down menu. If you see Bing next to "Search engine used in the address bar," click the menu and select an alternative, like Google or DuckDuckGo. If you don't see the search engine you want to use, click Manage search engines, click the three dots next to the name of your favorite search engine, and then choose Make default. To remove Bing from the list of suggested search engines, click the three dots next to Bing and select Remove from list.

Click the On startup tab. You'll see this tab in the left panel of your Chrome settings.

Remove Bing from your startup pages. The easiest way to do this is to select Open the New Tab Page, which ensures that all new tabs open to the default Chrome start page and not Bing. If Chrome is set to "Open a specific page or set of pages," check the list of websites for any instances of Bing. To remove a page, click the three dots next to it, then select Remove. Alternatively, you can choose Continue where you left off so Chrome always opens to the last page you were viewing.

Reset Chrome if you're still redirected to Bing. If you've completed this method and still see Bing in Chrome, resetting Chrome could help. This will delete all of your cookies, pinned tabs, shortcuts, and saved preferences. You won't lose your saved passwords, web-browsing history, or bookmarks. To reset Chrome: Click the three-dot menu and select Settings. Click Reset Settings in the left panel. Click Restore settings to their original defaults. Click Reset settings.

Scan for viruses and malware if you're still redirected to Bing. If, at this point, you're still seeing Bing when searching or browsing the web, it's likely due to a malware infection called Bing Redirect. Run a malware scan on your PC or Mac to located and remove potentially-unwanted programs. After removing this (or similar) malware, repeat the steps in this method to clear out any remaining instances of Bing from Chrome. A great malware scanner that's free to use and available for both Windows and macOS is Malwarebytes. Mac users can also use ClamXav. If you're using Windows, you can also scan using Windows Security, which should detect Bing Redirect with no issues. Type security into the Windows search bar and click Windows Security in the search results. Click Virus & threat protection, click Scan options, select Microsoft Defender Offline Scan, and follow the on-screen instructions.

On a Phone or Tablet

Open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu ⋮ ••• . If you're using an Android, the dots are vertical and next to the address bar. If you're on an iPhone or iPad, the dots are horizontal and at the bottom-right corner of Chrome.

Tap Settings on the menu.

Tap Search engine. If you're using an Android, it'll be in the "Basics" section. If you have an iPhone or iPad, it's in the second group of settings.

Select a search engine other than Bing. If Bing is your default search engine, searching from the browser address bar would run the search through Bing. Tap a different search engine here (such as Google or DuckDuckGo) to prevent Bing from opening.
