Google Chrome is known for its quick performance, simple and intuitive interface, and safe browsing capabilities. It comes as no surprise that many people prefer it as their web browser. However, there is a possibility that the default browser setting may change when installing a new application, using a different browser, or updating the system. To ensure that Google Chrome remains your default browser, follow these steps.

- Click the Start button and then select Settings.
- In the settings window, select Apps.

Setting Google Chrome as Default on Mac
If you’re using a Mac, follow these steps:
- Open System Preferences and choose General.
- Next to Default web browser, select Google Chrome from the dropdown menu.
Note that Mac systems need to have Google Chrome installed for it to appear in the list of available browsers.
Setting Google Chrome as Default on Android
For Android devices, you can set Google Chrome as your default browser with these steps:

Keeping Google Chrome as your default browser ensures a consistent browsing experience across all your devices and platforms. With Chrome as your go-to, you can enjoy the benefits of synchronization, speed, and security while browsing the internet.
Remember, setting a default browser does not prevent you from using other browsers. It only determines which browser will open by default when you click on a link or try to access the internet. Happy browsing!
