GOOGLE CHROME

(Recommended) The easiest method is to install the official You.com Chrome
extension: You.com | Multi-engine Search

Install the Chrome Extension here.

But, if you would prefer to set you.com as your default without a chrome
extension, you can make the simple change manually:

 1. 1. Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines, switch your default search engine
       to Google, then remove You.com from the search engines list
    
    2. Go to [You.com](<https://you.com>),
    
    3. If necessary, log in
    
    4. Type anything in the address bar and go to the search results page
    
    5. Go to search engine settings: chrome://settings/searchEngines, you should
       see an entry for [You.com](<https://you.com>) towards the bottom of the
       page
    
    6. On that entry, click on “…” ****to the right, and click on “**Make
       default**”
    
    7. After that, if you need to switch back to Google as a search engine for
       some queries, you can start typing “google.com” in the address bar,
       followed by your query.

You can also add a custom version with this URL: https://you.com/search?q=%s
