  7.  
  8. This Python script allows users to easily set their default search engine in Google Chrome from a menu of popular options.
  9. The script provides a user-friendly interface, presenting a menu with a selection of search engines such as Google, DuckDuckGo,
  10. Bing, Yandex, Baidu, WolframAlpha, and Ecosia.
  11.  
  12. Requirements:
  13. - Python 3
  14.  
  15. Usage:
  16. 1: Ensure Python 3 is installed on your system.
  17. 2: Copy and paste the script into a Python file.
  18. 3: Customize the search engine settings within the script if desired.
  19. 4: Run the script, and a menu will appear.
  20. 5: Enter the ID of the preferred search engine from the menu.
  21.  
  22. The script will update your Chrome preferences, setting the chosen search engine as the default.
  23.  
  24. Note: Make sure to run the script with the appropriate permissions, and modify the Chrome preferences file path if your Chrome installation directory differs.
