If you find yourself in this situation, here’s how to switch back to use Chrome as your full time web browser:</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Set Chrome to be the Default Web Browser</h2> <ul> <li>From the Chrome menu, select Preferences</li> <li>Click on the “Basics” tab</li> <li>At the bottom of the Basics preferences, click on “Make Google Chrome my default browser”</li> </ul> <p>That’s all there is to it, now all links will open in Chrome again.</p> <p>You can usually set the default browser to whatever you want via the apps preferences, but if all else fails, you can always just <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2007/04/06/change-the-default-web-browser-in-mac-os-x/">set the default web browser in Mac OS X</a> through Safari (yes, you use Safari to set the default even if you choose not to use Safari as the default).</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wrv2PR9YiJz_WBxCXGfYJoeqW-4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wrv2PR9YiJz_WBxCXGfYJoeqW-4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wrv2PR9YiJz_WBxCXGfYJoeqW-4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wrv2PR9YiJz_WBxCXGfYJoeqW-4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=fjgL98TIXQw:1udoQQDRpoI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/fjgL98TIXQw" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
