How to make Chrome your default Web Browser on the Mac

In a recent newsletter, I talked about why I choose to use Safari instead of Chrome - most of the time.

If you do want or need to make Chrome your default browser, how do you tell your Mac to always open links in Chrome instead of Safari?

We cover this one in our Getting to Know Your Mac class series - the videos of which are available for anyone to view.
(Choose to watch individual videos from this series, or the full set - find out more about the range of Mac videos here. iTandCoffee Club members with Online or Premium membership can watch these videos for FREE! Join the Club today!)

To choose which Web browser is the default, go to your System Preferences (from the Apple symbol at top left, or the app in the Dock) and choose the General option.

Click on the arrows next to the Default web browser and choose Google Chrome instead of Safari. (Of course, Chrome must have already been downloaded and installed for it to appear as an option here.)
