If Chrome is set as the default browser, clicking on the link shortcut will open the link in chrome, but also open the Windows settings on the default apps.
Microsoft released update KB5025221 last month, and users of Chrome quickly began to flag peculiar experiences. This is how things should work, and for a while they did! As Gizmodo notes, this was not to be the case for long. One "Default" button to press, and boom…your default browser is set to Chrome without having to dig around in your system settings. Last year, Chrome made some changes to how you go about making it your default browser, after you've downloaded it with Edge. A recent Windows update really wants you to use Edge instead of rival browsers, to the extent that some features in those rival browsers are breaking.Ī lot of people will only ever use Microsoft's default Edge browser to download another browser they'd rather use. However, every so often a story comes along which reminds us how little control we have when the big players notice one another's existence. We like to imagine we’re in total control of our desktop experience, carefully curated to look and work the way we want it to.
