SOURCE: How can i remove movs search engine that keeps

Click on the Spanner Symbol on the top right handside to 'Customize and Control Google Chrome' -> select 'Options' -> Change 'Home page' URL for 'Open this page' to what you want or to just 'about:blank' (without the quotes).

You can also modify your 'Search' engine default on that same 'Options' page.

Hope it helps!

I used to have google chrome as my search engine but now it keeps getting mugged by "ask jeeves" or babylon search. How can I get rid of these and go back to what I had before?

This may happen when you install new freeware software e.t.c. and it installs their affiliated search engine on your browser e.t.c

To change it back to google.com follow these steps
1) Open chrome
2) Click the spanner icon in the top right (settings)
3) Scroll down and click options
4) The options screen should appear, the second to last option is what you need to change.

From here click "Manage search engines" and Google as default

If its the home page or new tab, you can manage all this on the same page.
