I just have to change my default search engine. I do that from time to time, but my carrier is Verizon and I think they periodically take it upon themselves to set their own ‘search engine’ up as the default. Everyone here despises google, but at least it works for me!
I agree. Google does work and the only time I see that Cent Link page - full of ads etc. is when something goes wrong with a site I’m trying to reach (like FR) and CL(my internet carrier) so helpfully substitutes their page for google which IS my default.
