Ubuntu: Change the default browser - how it works

Ubuntu opens Internet addresses with a default browser, which you can also change. We'll show you how to do it.

Setting the default browser under Ubuntu - How to proceed

1. Open the Ubuntu system settings and click on the "Information" submenu.
2. Select "Default Programs" on the left.
3. If you use Ubuntu in English, the points are a little different. Follow the path "Details" -> "Default Applications" in the system settings.
4. On the right side you will now find a dropdown menu next to "Web". There you select your new standard browser. You can then close the window without further confirmation.
