Steps to Change Default Browser Windows 10 and Windows 7
Almost everyone has a favorite web browser. Statistics will suggest Google Chrome for most people, while Firefox and Opera have a much smaller but loyal user base. Safari is relatively popular at Microsoft, while the new version of Microsoft Edge is looking to have a similar effect.
