How To Set Google Chrome As Default Browser (2026)

Tired of links opening in the wrong browser? If Windows keeps sending you to Edge instead of Chrome, here's how to fix that permanently and make Chrome your default browser.

In this tutorial, I'll show you:

✅ How to set Google Chrome as your default browser so all links open in Chrome automatically

⚙️ The exact path: Chrome menu → Settings → Default browser → Make default → Confirm in Windows Settings

⚠️ Important: You need to confirm the change in Windows Settings after clicking "Make default" in Chrome — otherwise it won't fully apply

💡 Pro tip: Once set, every link you click in emails, documents, PDFs, and apps will open straight in Chrome instead of Edge or any other browser

🔍 If Chrome doesn't show as default after following these steps, open Windows Settings → Apps → Default apps → Search for Chrome and set it manually

Once confirmed, Chrome becomes your system-wide default browser for all link handling.
