Of course! We work with a number of add-ons to power search functionality (you can see a list below). If you've downloaded and installed one of these and want to remove it (in order to change your homepage), follow the below steps. Please note, once you've removed the application, you'll need to reset your default homepage to whatever you'd like it to be.
To remove the add-on from Internet Explorer, first close all open Internet Explorer windows. Then go to Control Panels and go into Add/Remove Programs. Scroll through the list until you see the name of the Mindspark toolbar you installed; right-click on the add-on and choose "Remove." If prompted, restart your computer.
To remove the Mindspark toolbar from Firefox, go to the Firefox Tools menu and select Add-ons. Then click on Extensions, and look for the name of the Mindspark product you installed, and then click the "Uninstall" button to the right of the product name. It may be necessary to restart Firefox afterward in order to complete the removal.
To remove the Mindspark toolbar from Google Chrome, go to Chrome's Tools menu and select More Tools. Then select "Extensions" from the sub-menu that appears. On the new tab showing your extensions, find the name of the Mindspark toolbar, and click the trash can icon to the right of the product name.
After completing the above, you may still need to change your browser's default homepage. These articles in our Help Center will show you how, depending on which browser you have:
Ask.com is my default home page or search engine in Google Chrome. How do I change it?
Ask.com is my default home page or search engine in Firefox. How do I change it?
Ask.com is my default home page or search engine in Internet Explorer. How do I change it?
Please note, the Ask removal utility featured in a number of our articles only applies to Ask's standalone toolbar. It will not remove other toolbars (such as Mindspark's) which just use Ask search results.
Ask powers search results in the following Mindspark toolbar products:
