I've been dealing with this annoying issue where Google Chrome keeps redirecting me to Yahoo. I've spent days trying to fix it and have already done a lot of the standard troubleshooting steps—I reset my settings, restarted my computer, cleared cookies and history, and even reinstalled Chrome. I also installed adblockers, but it hasn't worked. This has happened to me before, but I've always managed to resolve it. Now, I'm at a loss and really just want to get my Google back! Has anyone faced this issue and found a solution?

Have you checked the extensions you have installed on Chrome? Sometimes, unwanted redirects can be caused by specific extensions. Additionally, it might be a good idea to run a full system scan using Malwarebytes or Bitdefender to check for malware that could be messing with your browser.
I turned off my extensions to see if they were causing the problem, and I don’t have many: just Zoom Chrome, McAfee, uBlock Origin Lite, and Google Docs offline. I haven't run those scans yet, but I'll definitely give that a try!
