Well Chrome is the most popular browser and I have no idea how I would change my default search engine in it.

This is important because I almost never search by going to google.com and typing a search term. The location bar does this automatically using google.

the easiest way is to right click on the location bar, but, I hope unsurprisingly, you'll find the setting for the default search engine in Settings, under "Search".
