Hi, Good Day! I can't get that YouTube link out of the search bar like it's supposed to be in the picture. I tried clicking the pencil icon on the bottom right corner to delete all shortcuts, but nothing happened. Could you tell me how to remove this YouTube tab? Thanks so much.

If you are on Windows 10, log out of your browser. Then use Revo Uninstaller to fully remove Chrome. Next, open Command Prompt with admin rights and run this command: netsh winsock reset. After that, restart your computer when asked. Finally, download a clean Chrome file again and start it up in Safe Mode before switching back to normal mode.

You don't have an attachment here though. If you move your mouse over that icon, you'll see three little dots in the upper right corner. There are choices there to either change it or take it away.

There are no 3 dots for me to remove. The 3 dots are only there for icon shortcuts, not for website URLs. I looked everywhere on the internet and YouTube but couldn't find any info like that. How can I post my attachment? I couldn't find the "attach file" button on this forum. I am using Chrome Version 94.0.4606.61 (Official Build) (64-bit).

If you are using Windows 10, log out of your browser. Then use Revo Uninstaller to remove Chrome completely. Open Command Prompt as an admin and run this command: netsh winsock reset. After that, restart the computer when asked. Next, download a fresh install file for Chrome. Start up your PC in safe mode and put it through Chrome's installation process again. Finally, switch back to normal mode.

You can't take away that link because Google wants to show you what's going on at this special event.
