Hello,
my Google Chrome search engine is infected by a virus (duckduckgo) that I can't remove because it doesn't appear in the settings or search engine extensions; I never intended to install it myself. Have you ever faced this problem?
Best regards.

Configuration: Windows / Edge 14.14393

    Hello,

    Duckduckgo is not a virus, it's a popular search engine based on Microsoft's Bing.

      A search engine that installs itself without my permission is rarely benevolent software or a search engine, especially when it shows me ads during my searches.
