<p>With a lot of controversies that hit Microsoft regarding its Edge browser and the companys&#8217; approach for promoting Edge, the company has decided to accept the feedback and make necessary changes.</p>
<p>So far, the process of changing the default browser on Windows 11 is not a very straightforward process as it requires a user to set a default browser for each file type. Because of this, Microsoft received criticism from its users and also from other major browser vendors.</p>
<p>As we can see from the Rafael Riviera tweet, with the recently released Dev Channel Insider build 22509, there is now a new option in the Default Apps settings named &#8220;Set default&#8221; that will now allow the change of the default browser with a single click.</p>

<p>At least for now, the &#8220;Set default&#8221; option will change the most commonly used browser file types including <strong>.HTM</strong> and <strong>.HTML</strong>, leaving the <strong>.pdf</strong>, .<strong>shtml</strong>, <strong>.svg</strong> and similar file types preference unchanged. Hopefully, this will change in the future.</p>
<p>As Dev Channel builds are not tied to a specific version of the Windows operating system, there is no information on when these changes will become available for general release.</p>

Choosing a default browser in Windows 11 is getting easier
