How to make Google Chrome your default browser
Currently, there are a large variety of web browsers, each of which has its own users. But it may happen that you need to change the default browser, for example, to Google Chrome. In this case, the question arises - how to make Google Chrome the default browser? And this can be done in two ways. Moreover, they are very simple and will not pose much difficulty even for beginners. First Of these, which is also the simplest, lies in the following action. In the upper right corner of Chrome, you need to click on the “Customize and manage Google Chrome” button, after which an additional menu will open, where you need to select the “Settings” item. In the tab that opens, you need to find the line that says “Default Browser” and click on the button next to it “Set Google Chrome as the default browser.”
After clicking, the button will become inactive, and a notification message will appear below: “Google Chrome is currently the default browser.” If the button is initially inactive, then Chrome is already installed as the main web browser.
second method – universal, it will allow you to choose a browser, regardless of its type. Open Control Panel from the Start menu and select Default Programs. If you are using the Windows 7, 8 or Vista operating system, then the next step is to select the “Configure program access and defaults” link, otherwise you can skip this item. The program configuration settings will appear in the window that opens. By expanding the “Other” field, you can begin to select the desired browser by checking the corresponding line.
The disadvantage of this method is the inability to determine which browser is currently installed by default, but it is universal for all types of programs, not only browsers, but also mail, media players and others. As you can see, this task is very simple. And don't forget update Google Chrome.
