Safari: delete Yahoo - how it works
This practical tip shows you how to delete the Yahoo search from your Safari browser.
Delete Yahoo as homepage in Safari
If Yahoo is undesirably set up as the start page in Safari, do the following:
- Open the Safari browser on your computer.
- Click on the gray gear icon in the top right and go to "Settings".

- With the item "Standard search engine" you can choose whether Yahoo, Google or Bing should be used for the search.
