Google is stuck as my homepage
Google will never change your homepage settings without your permission. Select your browser above to learn how to reset your homepage. When you follow the steps, replace Google with the site you want as your homepage.
If resetting your homepage doesn't fix the issue, the problem may be due to malicious software called malware that's imitating the Google site. Learn about signs of malware and how to remove it.
