To change the default browser on your Mac:

1. Open System Preferences and click on the General icon.
2. In the “Default web browser” drop-down menu, select the browser you want to use as your default.

The process for changing your default browser on iPhone is different than on a desktop computer. Here’s how to do it:

How to change default browser on Android

There are a few ways to change the default browser on your Android device. The most common way is to go into the device’s settings and look for the “Default apps” option. From there, you should be able to select the browser you want to use as your default.

If your device doesn’t have a “Default apps” option, you may be able to find a similar option in the settings for your specific browser. For example, in Chrome’s settings, you can go to the “Advanced” section and select “Make Chrome the default browser.”

If you can’t find any way to change the default browser on your device, you may be able to download and install a different browser from the Google Play Store. Once you’ve installed the browser, you should be able to set it as your default from the “Default apps” settings.
