oh great
turns out conduit was there, I just took a look and didn't see it as my main search engine, but it was in the list, i don't see anything about it in extensions though, nor plugins.
i don't even have a "search protected by conduit" thing
turns out my settings were on "on new page go to specific website or set of pages" or something like that, i guess that's why it came up to the conduit website, but that's it and it's done nothing else recently.
i'll probably do another quick scan with malwarebytes to make sure
