Any way to uninstall Chrome from my Mac completely? I want to change the default browser

Since Google Chrome eats up too much RAM and battery, I decided to switch to Safari. However, my uninstall is not thorough as I find there are some provision profiles with “chrome” in their name still lying in sorts of folders. That’s weird since I though I had removed Chrome from my Mac already! Does anyone have the idea to remove the Google Chrome from my machine totally? Any suggestion will be thanked sincerely!

Specific steps to delete Chrome from Mac manually:

  1. Make sure Google Chrome is not running on your Mac. If it is running, you can quit it by right-clicking on the Chrome app in the Mac Dock and then choosing Quit.

  2. If there’s something wrong with Chrome like it would not respond or is frozen, you can press the Command + Option + Esc keys to open the Force Quit Applications window, then force quit an app on Mac there.

  3. Launch Mac Finder, and click on Applications from the left column.

  4. Right-click on the Chrome app, then choose Move to Trash. Please note, dragging Chrome from the Dock into Trash will not finish uninstallation, but merely remove it from the Dock.

  5. Right-click on the Trash and choose Empty Trash. Now Google Chrome is gone from your Mac.
