I want the Google and Yahoo fight on my browser to go away. How do I get rid of these stupid notifications asking me to make one or the other my defaults?

I use Google. My browser is set with Google.ca as my homepage and Google is my default search engine.

For a while I was getting messages asking me if I wanted to know how to make Yahoo my defaults...I managed to get rid of that crap...

But now I get bars popping up at the top of my screen asking me if I want to switch to Google...either my homepage or my default search engine...toss-up which one will come up when I open my browser.

Even though everything is set for Google I still get these obnoxious pushed "suggestions".

How do I get rid of these?

Right now it's looking like using IE is the only way...

You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.
