Oh my god! I had this problem when I downloaded chrome but whenever I clicked a link it sent me to edge to deal with it but now that I found this video it saved me and chrome! I really appreciate it!!
i did set up chrom as a default still mine didnt dowload the same way i dont even have the google in center
And yet, after setting a different default browser, the windows search function still defaults to Edge. How do you turn that off?
You don't. That's built in to Windows. Annoying as heck.
Thank you. Good choice of topics. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. Nice presentation.
Thank youuu short and sweet and appreciate the time stamps.
God knows why people love Chrome over Edge when it lacks even basic bookmark management features. Not talking about Collections in Edge.
1. Recently deleted so you can recover accidentally deleted bookmark
2. Duplicate finder for bookmarks
3. Find bookmarks is not possible from the top down menu in Chrome. You got to open the bookmark manager.
I use Startpage as my homepage in Firefox, my default browser (on Mac). I only use Edge for Twitter. It seemed like my Edge homepage was showing me ads based on my Startpage searches in Firefox. Pretty specific targets, and popping up the same day as the searches. I was creeped out and just blanked my Edge homepage. How would Edge track searches in Firefox? Are Startpage's privacy claims baloney?
Very easy thank you
When you make the change, do you lose all your saved passwords, favorited sites, and other setup stuff? I've only had my computer for a few weeks, but have set up tons of stuff.
Yes. This is one reason why password managers that work in multiple browsers are preferable to letting browsers remember passwords.
Thank you so much!!!
Mine has refused to download...they said chrome successfully downloaded but few more steps to go...I can't find my installer Icon aswell
what about forcing chrome on android? i cannot even uninstall chrome
Thanks. Also, you remind me of jack black. Which is not a bad thing. Just an observation.
Last week I began setting up my new PC which has Windows 11 installed. I was sure I downloaded Google Chrome. Its icon shows up on my desktop and also my task bar. But every time I open Google Chrome and use it, I receive a message at the top of the screen stating that Google Chrome is not my default browser. However, when I go to Apps>Default Apps I see NO Google Chrome in the list! It's not even in the Installed Apps list! Where is it? Did I install Google Chrome incorrectly? If so, how is it working on my PC with the icons visible? Apparently things have changed in the past 11 months since you posted this video. We need an update, please!
Installing it and using it is NOT the same as setting it as your default browser. That message usually has a "set as default" option which will do it for you.
For some reason something went wrong when I first attempted to install GC. So I opened File Explorer>Downloads, Rt clicked on ChromeSetup, and THAT properly installed my Google Chrome and enabled me to set it as the default. Thanks so much for all your great advice.
How do you set Chrome to incognito browsing?
It's not something you "set", it's something you open. In the upper right corner click on the "..." and click on "New InPrivate Window" or "New Incognito window".
yes you can remove it with scripts ive seen videos about it i have not done it not doing it running windows 10 64bit 21h2 also have firefox but chrome i defult here
you deserve like n subscrive grandpa yayyyyyy
thankyou grandpa yayyyyyy
Thank you so much! Edge is horrible but your clear explanation is great!!!
why is edge horrible? i install edge on android and it supports extensions while chrome does not.
I gave up Windows and having to deal with being because the fact that they're not even being nice about it Microsoft is playing such a game the secondary browsers at their own store if you look in the comments they're all considered crap they're not even allowing the famous ones from the past to be used like Foxfire Netscape our Yahoo but yet they're extremely Prejudice when it comes to Google Chrome which I've switched over to the Google Chromebook because it doesn't give me the stress that Windows 11 did because I had it my system and it screwed it up so bad it took 20 minutes to boot it up since I've won over to the Chromebook it brought my blood pressure down so this guy is a paid sob
then tell me how to uninstall chrome on android? how not to use safari on mac? you guys just hate microsoft for no reason

Well my ex-wife was a computer science major back in college but far as getting hands on knowledge for properly doing that no I don't I just enjoyed reading her books when she was going through school because was paying as much as $2,600 for one hardback covered book and the amount of money lost when you got to resell your books but far as doing what you ask I'm sorry I don't know
@@coshvjicujmlqef6047 Uninstalling Chrome for Android I've been thinking about that when it comes to cell phone programs that's actually a lot different than a laptop or console you can petition your hard drive on the phone if it's got large enough external memory and you can install Linux and running through Linux but far as when it comes to Apple coding and jumping back to Windows coating there's only one zero difference in the whole code between those two that was a huge lawsuit years ago where Apple tried suing Microsoft for basically copying the same program that Microsoft and Apple both at the exact same time working together out of their garage created off an engineering program Windows itself was not a direct transfer of creation it was a transferring of a concept of an engineering math code medicated I'm sorry
You gave really bad advice at @4:18. It's all that one SHOULD NOT do; nothing good comes from setting any of those to default, unless one plans to never use Chrome again.
I simply don't understand all the debates over "default" browsers. Who in the real world actually launches their browser that way? Your answer "Just download Chrome and start using it" agrees with my thinking. There is little to no reason to care what the default is. But actually, we should care, in that seriously, we should never ever ever want a web browser that we use daily to ever actually be our default browser.
The entire f---king point of even having a default browser configured is to catch pages launched unexpectedly by applications or malware without user intention. The idea is to reduce the chances that unwanted content would open in the main browser that I actually use, polluting its cookies, history, etc. Every computer needs to have at least two different browsers installed so that there can be one the user doesn't use and don't mind crap being sent to.
Other than this, what other purpose could setting a default browser even serve? We manually launch our main browsers via a shortcut to the browser; and never intentionally via file extensions or other sorts of content handlers. So how does "default" even apply?!
Thanks for uncomplicating a nasty problem. I like Chrome - hate Edge.
only losers love chrome. where are my extensions on android chrome?
Microsoft business practices are annoying at best and lawsuit worthy at worst. If you want someone to use your product, make a better product, don't try to hijack users or force them to use it, or make it more difficult than necessary to switch.
but you switch to chrome where google does the same thing to force you using chrome on android even they do not support extensions. funny you guys diss microsoft for preinstalling edge while advocate google for preinstalling chrome on android or safari on iphone
