1. Access the Google Chrome’s Settings Menu

To begin, look for the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the window, which is the main menu button. 

Click on it, then scroll down and select ‘Settings’ to access your browser settings. This is where you can modify Chrome’s configuration.

2. Scroll to Find and Click on ‘Reset Settings’ at the Bottom of the Settings Menu

In the ‘Settings’ menu, find and select ‘Reset settings’. This section allows you to revert changes made to Chrome.

3. Choose ‘Restore Settings to Their Original Defaults’ to Prepare for Reset

Once in the ‘Reset settings’ menu, click the option that says ‘Restore settings to their original defaults’. Selecting this will prepare Chrome to reset important settings such as your startup tab, search engine, and disable extensions.

A confirmation dialog box will appear after you click on ‘Restore settings to their original defaults’. This dialog box provides a summary of what will be reset and gives you a final chance to cancel the operation. If you’re sure you want to proceed, click ‘Reset settings’.
