How to Make Google Chrome Your Default Browser Windows 11
19How to Make Google Chrome Your Default Browser Windows 11
Maybe it's not just another search engine you want to swap but another web browser too. By default, Edge is Windows 11's browser of choice. In Windows 11, the easiest way to set another browser as your default is when you install it and are prompted to make it your default browser. But if you skipped over doing it then, no worry, here's how.
Microsoft really wants you to use its Edge Browser so much so that it's made changing the default browser in Windows 11 a little more difficult than in Windows 11. Instead of allowing you to simply change something called the "default browser" in the Settings menu, you now have to tweak file associations for particular link types such as .html files, .htm files, http and https.

In addition, we found that Chrome browser was unable to change these settings for you when we clicked the button to make it our default browser, instead dropping us into the appropriate menu to do it on our own. Though strangely Firefox could perform the same task by itself. Perhaps worst of all, though, is that even if you change the settings correctly, Microsoft will still open Edge browser if you click links that appear in Windows 11's Search function or its Widgets box.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung.
