Chrome removes ability to delete pre-populated search engines - promises to bring it back

Chrome won't let users delete search engines

A recent update to the Chromium codebase has removed the option to delete prepopulated search engines in the latest versions of the Chrome and Edge browsers.

The problem was first highlighted several days ago when a number of users on a Google Chrome Help page and Reddit thread complained that they were unable to delete the search engines in either browser.

That is because McAfee’s Secure Search functionality only works with Yahoo. When this is turned on, the search engine automatically switches to Yahoo.

As if there weren't enough reasons to hate McAfee: only 419 scammers still use Yahoo.
