How to Define Web Browser

On both PC and Mac computers, you can define your default browser through the system settings. Once you select a default browser, all Web pages will automatically open with this application until you change the settings again. Before defining a new browser, Internet Explorer is the default for PC computers and Safari is the default for Macs.
