Summary: Security: Chill Tab search engine hijacking (was: Security: )
Unfortunately, the Chrome Cleanup Tool is unavailable for Mac which means you'll need to either manually remove the malware from your Mac or use third-party cleanup software to remove it. https://www.securemacos.com/remove-search-chill-tab-com-from-mac-os/ provides one set of instructions, for instance.

Compromised PCs are outside the browser's threat model, as outlined here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#Why-arent-compromised_infected-machines-in-Chromes-threat-model
