How To Change the Default Web Browser in Windows 11 or 10
Setting a browser other than Edge as thе dеfault browser in Windows 11 is proving to be diffіcult. Edge is a good browser, sure, but it may not be the browser you want. With the release of Windows 11, now’s the time to figure out how to make your favorite browser the default browser in Windows 11.

How To Make Firefox the Default Web Browser in Windows 10 and 11
Mozilla, makers of Firefox, weren’t happy with Windows 11 requiring people to select the default browser for each file type. So Mozilla came up with a workaround. It also works in Windows 10.
- Download and install Firefox. There isn’t a particular version of Firefox for Windows 11. Whatever Mozilla’s website gives when clicking on Download Firefox will work.
- When Firefox opens after installation, it will go through a setup wizard. The second choice in the setup process is to Make Firefox your default. Select the Make Default Browser button.
That’s it. Firefox is the default browser now for .htm, and .html file types and links that begin with http and https. Continue with the rest of the Firefox setup.

- Download and install the preferred web browser. For this example, it’s Chrome. Go through the Make Chrome your own process. At the end, Chrome presents a link to Set as default. Selecting that opens Windows Settings Default apps.
If a browser other than Chrome is being installed, open Default apps manually. Select the Start menu and start typing default apps. The top result should be Default apps. Select it.
Follow the steps below for Windows 11. Skip down for Windows 10 instructions.

- In the next pop-up, select the desired browser and then select OK to set it as the default for the file type. Continue this process for all the desired file types and link types to open with the new default browser.
Note that when the default browser is changed for the HTTP link type, Windows automatically changes it for the HTTPS link type.
Follow these steps for Windows 10.
- In Default apps, scroll down to Web browser. Select Microsoft Edge.
- In the Choose an app menu that opens, select Google Chrome, or the name of the browser just installed, and select it.
