Check How to Change Default Web Browser in Windows 11 PC

Microsoft really wants you to use its Edge browser so much that it makes changing the default browser in Windows 11 a bit more difficult than in Windows 10. Instead of letting you just change something called “default browser” in the menu settings, you now need to optimize file associations for specific link types, such as .html files, .htm files, http, and https. Additionally, we discovered that when we clicked the button to make it our default browser, the Chrome browser couldn’t change those settings for you, but instead took us to the corresponding menu to do it ourselves. Curiously, Firefox could perform the same task on its own.

But perhaps the worst thing is that even if you change the settings correctly, Microsoft will open the Edge browser when you click on the links that appear in the Windows 11 search function or in the widgets panel. We will first try Firefox. With version 91, Mozilla has improved and simplified the way you can make it your default in Windows. Open Firefox and make sure you are using version 91 or later. To check this, click the hamburger icon in the top right, select Help, then About Firefox. The browser will tell you that it is up to date or download the latest update.

Set your default browser in Windows 11

• To change your default browser, first open the Windows 11 Settings app. Then right-click the Start button on your taskbar and select Settings. This should open the Settings app in a new window.
• In the left navigation pane of Settings, click Apps. This will show you all the options and preferences you can set for your apps.
• In the search field of the “Set defaults for applications” section, enter the name of your preferred default browser.
• Once the search results have loaded, click on your preferred browser. This will show you all file types or link types that you can associate with your preferred browser.
• For each type of file or link that you want to set as the default browser, click “+ Choose default” or the current default browser. This will bring up a list of all apps that can read that type of file/link.
• Select your preferred browser.
• Click OK.
• Congratulations, you have updated your default browser.
