Why does Yahoo keep opening in Chrome Windows 11 computer?
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my Windows 11 computer. For some reason, Yahoo keeps opening automatically in Google Chrome, even when I’m not trying to access it. This happens frequently and interrupts my workflow.
I've checked my browser settings and extensions, but I can't find anything unusual. I’ve also cleared my browser cache and cookies, but the problem persists.
Has anyone else faced a similar issue or knows how to stop this from happening? Thank you!
Sometimes, users accidentally set Yahoo as their homepage without realizing it. This can happen if you select it during a software installation or if you were just not paying attention to the settings.
In Chrome, click on the three dots in the top right and then select More tools > Extensions. Review the installed extensions. If you see something suspicious or that you don’t remember installing, disable or remove it.
Try to clear the cookies and browser data and see if yahoo site opens automatically in future.
This worked for me, thx
Sur Chrome , Aller sur les 3 petits points à gauche en haut de l'écran, descendre tout en bas "Paramètres" puis à gauche choisir "moteur de recherche" , et .
" Gérer les moteurs de recherche et la recherche sur les sites
Descendre , et choisir le moteur de recherche que vous souhaitez par défaut en cliquant sur les 3 petits points à droite
Pour être tranquille supprimer Yahoo (3petits points) car il à tendance via un lien edge à s'installer tout seul par défaut.
voilà voilà
I won't recommend using Yahoo mail anymore. I have one account with recovery phone number but it asks me using whatsapp to receive the security code, which is rediculous as I don't use whatsapp!
