Okay. So I recently downloaded something that made my new tab into a Bing thing. That's not very descriptive, so... Basically when I used to open a tab, it would just be a blank, white page. But after downloading Gimp 2, an editing software, it also downloaded a Bing search thing every time I open a new tab, even when I clicked for it not to do that. So how do I get my new tab back to being just a blank page?

downloaded something that made my new tab into a Bing thing:

See if there is a "Bing" extension and uninstall it."

  • "Ctrl+Shift+A" > Extensions > uninstall "Bing"

I installed to update Adobe Flash today, it wanted to install Bing, you have to be real careful to avoid crapware installs
