When I search for things on the internet I prefer to use Google. Lately, every time I search something it takes me to Yahoo instead. I've removed Yahoo from my search settings and made Google my preferred search engine. I've even downloaded the extension Block Site and blocked Yahoo.com. Also, even if I go to Google.com and search something It'll show my search results in Yahoo. I'm not sure what caused this, or if there's something else I can do to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
