Overview

Yahoo Search Redirect automatically intercepts Yahoo search hijacks and sends your queries to the search engine you actually want — Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing.

Many software installers silently change your default search engine to Yahoo without asking. This extension catches every Yahoo search URL the moment it fires and redirects it before the page even loads — so you always end up where you intended.

FEATURES
- Redirect Yahoo searches to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing — your choice
- Works across all Yahoo regional domains (in.search.yahoo.com, uk.search.yahoo.com, etc.)
- Live redirect counter so you can see how often it saves you
- One-click enable/disable toggle
- Fully offline — no data leaves your browser, ever

PRIVACY
This extension stores only your preferences (on/off toggle, chosen engine, redirect count) locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. Nothing is collected, transmitted, or shared with anyone.

No ads. No tracking. No login required.
