How to delete all "Other search engines" from Chrome
Raw
delete-other-search-engines-from-chrome.md

Motivation:

The list of "Other search engines" in Chrome settings could become bloated and unmanageable. Slow UI reaction makes it really hard to search through this list, or drop unnecessary items.

Solution:

  1. Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines
  2. Open dev tools (Cmd+Shift+I or Ctrl-Shift+I)
  3. Run this (execution may take a minute):
document.querySelectorAll('#other-search-engine-list .row-delete-button').forEach(function (e) { e.click(this) })
