In the modern internet age, a web browser is one of the most frequently used tools on our computers. There are many web browsers to choose from, but Google Chrome is one of the most popular due to its sleek design and fast performance. Here is a step by step guide on how to set Google Chrome as your default browser.

In Windows 10, setting your default browser is done in the settings menu. Follow these steps:
- Click on the Windows icon in the lower left-hand corner of your screen and then click on the Settings icon.
- In the windows that opens, click on Apps.
- From the sidebar on the left, choose Default apps.
- In the web browser section, click on the icon of the current default browser.
- A menu will open showing all the browsers installed on your computer. Select Google Chrome.
MacOS
If you’re using a Mac, you can change your default browser in the system preferences. Here’s how:
- Click on the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen and select System Preferences.
- Click on General.
- Next to Default web browser, click on the drop-down menu and select Google Chrome.
And there you have it! Google Chrome is now your default browser. This means that whenever you click on a web link, it will automatically open in Google Chrome.
