Microsoft is making it harder to switch default browsers in Windows 11

In Windows 11, Microsoft has changed the way you set default apps. Like Windows 10, there's a prompt that appears when you install a new browser and open a web link for the first time. It's the only opportunity to easily switch browsers, though. Unless you tick always use this app," the default will never be changed. It's incredibly easy to forget to toggle the always use this app" option, and simply launch the browser you want from this prompt and never see this default choice again when you click web links.

Microsoft has changed the way default apps are assigned in Windows 11, which means you now have to set defaults by file or link type instead of a single switch. In the case of Chrome, that means changing the default file type for HTM, HTML, PDF, SHTML, SVG, WEBP, XHT, XHTML, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS.

That's what you get when you use proprietary operating systems. Windows and macOS are not designed for you; they're designed for Microsoft and Apple, respectively.
