Browsers play a major role in today's world of computing. While Microsoft tries hard every year to make their default Windows browser better, people still prefer using third party ones like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. However, it is not as easy as it used to be to change your default browser. Here's how you can do it right away.
In older version of Windows like Windows 7, changing the default browser was just one click after you run the freshly installed browser for the first time. While it is a bit more than just one click on Windows 10, it is not as difficult either. So, follow the steps below to change your default browser from Microsoft Edge.
