    I feel certain it came from some other program I installed without paying attention, but I now have a problem in Chrome. Every time I open the program it goes to my home page as it should. However, for some reason it automatically opens a second tab for Yahoo Search. I do not want nor do I use Yahoo Search and would like to remove this annoyance. Any thoughts?

    Perhaps I have not been clear. My homepage and startup pages are set and show correctly. I have deleted Yahoo in settings of the Chrome app.

    This an additional tab that goes immediately to Yahoo search which loads when I open Chrome. There is really nothing I can do about it after three days of trying. I can close the tab. But, having to each time I open Chrome is a bit aggravating.
