Hi there! It sounds like when you use OceanHero Browser, your searches are being redirected to Google instead of staying on OceanHero's search engine. Just to be clear, is this happening every time you search, or only sometimes? Also, are you using OceanHero as the full browser, a browser extension, or just the search engine set in another browser? This will help me give you the best guidance.

Meanwhile, this redirect can happen intentionally because one of OceanHero’s hosting providers has issues, or sometimes due to settings or extensions that force redirection. Let me walk you through some steps to check and resolve this on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7:

1. Check Default Search Engine:
- Open OceanHero Browser.
- Go to the browser settings (usually from the menu bar at top, look for preferences or settings).
- Look under Search Engine settings and verify OceanHero is selected as your default search engine, not Google.

2. Clear Cache and Cookies:
- Sometimes cached data causes redirect loops.
- From the browser menu, find the option to clear browsing data.
- Clear cache and cookies, then restart the browser.

3. Disable Conflicting Extensions:
- Check for any other search-related or ad-blocking extensions that might interfere.
- Temporarily disable them to see if the redirection stops.

4. Update OceanHero Browser:
- Make sure you are using the latest version of OceanHero Browser from the official site or App Store.
- Sometimes bugs in older versions cause unexpected redirects.

5. Reinstall if Needed:
- If none of the above helps, uninstall the browser completely.
- Restart your Mac.
- Then download and install the latest OceanHero Browser version from https://oceanhero.today/

If the redirect still happens after these steps, it could be due to a temporary hosting problem on OceanHero’s side, where searches are forwarded to Google intentionally. This has been reported before and is known to be related to host provider issues1.

Please let me know which of these steps you’ve tried or what you notice when doing them. I’ll be happy to assist further! Are you satisfied with this approach so far?
