I Just Found Out You Can Switch Search Engines—Here’s How!

Hey, 😎 folks! I just stumbled upon something awesome: you can switch between search engines right in your browser! I swear, all these years online, and I had no clue this was a thing😁.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to make it happen (I’m using Brave here, but most browsers have something similar):

STEP 1: Open Settings

Click the menu icon (those three dots or lines) in your browser’s toolbar, then hit “Settings” from the dropdown. Easy start

STEP 2: Find Search Engine Options

Scroll down and click on “Search Engine” (usually in the sidebar or a tab—depends on your browser).

STEP 3: Pick Your Favorite

Hit “Change” or click the dropdown menu, then choose your preferred search engine—Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or whatever vibes with you!
