If you are mostly used to browsing the internet using Google’s Chrome Browser, you will find below the steps to make Chrome as default browser in Windows 10.

But in Chrome, even if the default search engine is set as Google.com, it will still automatically route the searcher to the Google version for the country they are in, requiring users to go back to Google.com and click the “Go to Google.com” link that appears in the homepage footer. Google takes abuse of its services very seriously. We're committed to dealing with such abuse according to the laws in your country of residence. When you submit a report, we'll investigate it and take the appropriate action. We'll get back to you only if we require additional details or have more information to share.

Set Chrome As Default Browser in Windows 10

In case you have just bought a new Windows PC or upgraded from a previous version of Windows, you will notice that Microsoft Edge is the default browser in Windows 10.

While Microsoft Edge browser is reported to be much faster and energy efficient browser, compared to both Chrome and Firefox, it has not been able to attract many users.

Also, there are reports about Microsoft’s plans to abandon its EdgeHTML rendering engine in favour of Chromium, which is the same open source technology that powers Google’s Chrome browser.

Until that happens, you may want to use Chrome as the primary web browser on your computer.

An official version of Google Chrome has been available to try out for several months.

It fully supports flash and extensions, is super fast to both start-up and load pages and is so incredibly stable you will wonder why it’s not already been signed off and labeled “beta” already!
Below are 10 reasons why i think it should be your default browser.

Speed #1

Google

First things first – Chrome is super fast. Quick, swift, pronto, whatever! it’s really fast at loading pages. Try two pages side-by-side in Firefox and Chrome and see.

Speed #2

A common complaint about Firefox in Ubuntu is the time it takes to start-up/launch/open. It’s not the most instant launching application!
