What Is Dock Mode?
Dock Mode is a browser extension that may appear on a Mac after a user installs a free or pirated program or opens a file downloaded from an untrustworthy source. Dock Mode changes the default search engine on the affected browsers and redirects users’ searches to Yahoo or Bing. When users try to change the search engine themselves, they are told that “Dock Mode is controlling this setting”. Extensions that control search engine, homepage and similar browser settings are called browser hijackers. You may follow this step-by-step guide to remove Dock Mode hijacker from your Macbook and get rid of the search redirect.
