iā€™m fucking crying šŸ˜­ this guy installed a malware that keeps redirecting his queries through Yahoo, and vibe coded an extension that redirects Yahoo to Google, probably not understanding that he has malware šŸ˜­ šŸ˜­
screenshot of a reddit post titled "finally!! built a solution preventing yahoo taking over my chrome". the text reads: "so, i was basically annoyed by yahoo taking over my google search engine every other day, and i had to go to settings and change it every time. so i built this extension which prevents that, and you won’t even realize if your search engine gets taken over. what it basically does is redirect your queries to your selected search engine whenever it detects that yahoo has taken over. it does this automatically, so you don’t have to go into settings again and again. you can also choose the search engine according to your preference. requesting you guys to show some love. it’s completely free. i’m open to suggestions, criticism, or any improvements/features i can add. also, if you guys have any other problems or need a small tool that could help, let me know. i’d be happy to work on it." the image at the top also shows text including "yahoo tries to hijack. we silently stop it." and a counter showing "47 redirects blocked."
