Browsers are the medium to open and access web pages over internet. You will find a number of Web Browsers according to your internet surfing choice. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome are the browsers which are generally used by a huge volume of Internet Users.
What is Default Browser?
May be you have installed more than one or more browser in your Computer. The default browser is browser which opens automatically whenever you click a link when you are not using that Browser. For example – You are reading an email in Outlook or a PDF file on your Desktop, you got a web-link while reading and clicked on it. The browser which opens automatically is your default browser.
But, if you are reading a blog post in Chrome, you clicked on the link and a new web page opens in Chrome, then in this case Chrome is not your default browser.
Whenever you download and install a web browser, you got an option to make it your default one. But if you miss, you can always change default browser in your Computer.
