What you need to know
- Google Chrome used to let users set it as their default browser with a single click.
- The feature stopped working following a Windows update that shipped in April 2023.
- Microsoft has been criticized in the past over its repeated attempts to get people to stop using Chrome and other non-Edge browsers.
- The blocking of Chrome's one-click feature to change default browsers could fall into that category as well, but there is a security reason to block the option.
