Windows 11 will be makeing it difficult for users to switch default browsers as Microsoft has change the way you can change defaults in the operating system. This will make it harder for users to change their default browser to competitor products like Google’s Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox, from Microsoft Edge.
Once you install a new browser on Windows 11 and open a Web link for the first time then you will see a prompt.
This prompt will let you decide whether you want to select the browser as the default on your system by ticking the option that reads, “Always use this app.”
It is similar to how you see prompts for setting default apps on Windows 10.
In Windows 10 you can switch between different default apps anytime by going Settings > Apps > Default apps.
If you want to change your default browser on Windows 11 with a new one then you will have to select that new browser from the ‘Default apps’ list and then choose it for each file or link type one by one.
Windows 11 is currently under testing and is provided in preview to developers.
Microsoft is expects to make the new operating system available for public release in October.
