how do you reset safari to factory settings? It looks like whenever I search something on google, after displaying the search for say, 5 seconds, safari goes to another search window (Bing) and then any related website(depending on what I have searched) opens up on its own on my Mac book pro.( I have OS -Big Sur) I think resetting safari to its Default settings might get rid of this problem. Please advise and direct how to? TIA.

Safari is the browser. I do not believe ecosia is a browser, but it is a search engine option in Safari's Search preferences.
