Are you looking to customize your browsing experience in Google Chrome? One way to make it truly yours is by changing the default search engine. 

Whether you're tired of the same old search results or have a favorite search provider in mind, adjusting the default search engine allows you to take control of your online searches. 

Why stick with the same old search results when you can switch them up and have your favorite search provider at your fingertips? Perhaps you're a die-hard Google fan, a Bing believer, or a privacy-conscious DuckDuckGo user, Chrome makes it easy to switch things up.
