Select Set this program as default and windows will send all web commands/requests to this browser. A brief description of the program will be shown on the right with two options listed below. You will see all browsers that you’ve installed, so just select the one you want to make set as default. Under Default Programs select Set your default programs.Īll programs/apps will be listed in the window that opens. To set either Firefox or Chrome (or any other browser) as the default browser for anything and everything web related, open the control panel and select Programs. This can happen between any two browsers, as Windows 8 has its own way of selecting which is the default browser. It is apparent that both Firefox and Chrome are set as default. This post looks at how you can set a browser as the default program when opening links from external applications.įor those of you that are wondering how this all happens, the following screenshot should make it clear how you can have two default browsers.
Although whichever browser you set as the default browser will appear so in its own settings, the default behavior will be limited to all actions done within the browser. If you receive a new email notification on Gtalk, clicking it will open Gmail in Internet Explorer.
This isn’t as easy as it sounds, as Internet Explorer will remain the default browser for links opened via external applications. If you’ve decided to take Windows 8 for a spin, but aren’t up for using Internet Explorer as your default web browser, then you can download whichever browser you were using in Windows 7, set it as your default browser and all should be right with the world.
