This guide will teach you how to set Google Chrome as default browser on Windows 11 PC or laptop.

Microsoft Edge is the default browser for Windows 11. It has a new design and features that make it one of the best browsers on the market.

The new Microsoft Edge has a minimalist design and uses less memory than other browsers. This means that you can use your system more efficiently without sacrificing performance or battery life.

However, Google Chrome remains the most popular browser among Windows users. Even though Microsoft has improved Microsoft Edge and added many useful features, Google Chrome is not easily replaced.
