WTF! My home page has been usurped by something called "My Transit Guide" by Google! How the hell do I get rid of this crap!

Asked by rojo (24187points) February 22nd, 2017

And back to my old page which was the Firefox start page.

BTW I am running Windows 10 because that is what the powers that be determined I needed. Not that I wasn’t happy with my earlier versions.

My Transit Guide appears to be a browser toolbar that gets installed without you really agreeing to it…

Article on how to remove with screenshots that look like Windows 7, but shouldn’t be that different from 10.

Enough to get started? Happy to help if not.

I had a hard enough time trying to figure out how to un-zoom on my new laptop a few weeks ago. haha
