    I find it hard to believe that nobody saw this coming. Nothing in win10 is easy to set, unless it is the microsoft default.

    Frankly, the best thing ms could have done, is offer a choice when installing/upgrading the os, 'would you like to install chrome. firefox, or edge as you main web browser'. hehehe oooo who am i kidding? ms would never do that. Better to make things hard for the user..

    Way to go, microsoft! drive more over to apple; or better yet gnu/linux.

      Isn't offering a choice of browsers during installation exactly what they did after an anti-competition ruling? Or was that just in Europe.

        Just in Europe, as the anti-trust was there.

      For the purposes of this snap it took me no more than 30 seconds after finishing the mozilla install to set it as the default browser. Then I uninstalled mozilla firefox because its a little bit shit

      Really? I found the settings for it fairly quickly.

      But on the other hand, I tend to dick around with my computer settings so I know where most things are.

      Hitting windows key and typing what you want to do isn't hard. In this case, "WIN"+"Def(autocompletes)" + enter. Then "Set your default programs.", which is wonderfully clear and easy to use. You can select chrome and then either set it as default for everything you want, or select just the ones you do.
