Okay, so here's a fun little scenario… You click a link, and suddenly you're dumped into a browser you never even opened. Sound familiar? Yeah, browsers love to fight for your attention like it's the last slice of pizza. But guess what? You're in charge, and I'm going to show you exactly how to make your favorite browser the star of the show on Windows 10.
First things first — head over to your Start menu and type "Default apps." Yes, it's that simple. Hit Enter, and a sleek little window will pop up with all your default app settings laid out like a buffet. Lovely.
Now, scroll down until you spot Web browser. It'll currently show whichever browser Windows seems to think you love most — spoiler alert, it's probably Microsoft Edge (bless its heart). Click on it, and a dropdown list will appear with every browser you've got installed — Chrome, Firefox, Opera, you name it.
