This is a useful video tutorial for changing the default web browser to another web browser like Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.

I hate how you need to use a Windows Default Apps changer program instead of just changing to the default web browser in the web browser settings in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, or by just clicking the "Make Web Browser the Default Browser" button in a pop-up window which appears when you launch a non-default web browser.

The new way of changing the default web browser settings in Windows 10 seems slower, and overly complicated compared to Windows 7 where you can set Firefox and Chrome to the default web browser within Firefox, or Chrome, so it only takes 1-5 seconds to change Firefox, or Chrome to the default browser without leaving Firefox or Chrome.
 
thanks for the video, very handy.

It's a very helpful video, but I can't help but wonder: iIs Edge Browser so terrible, or why is everyone so upset about the fact that it comes as a default browser?

I saw a video of a mad kid complaining about Microsoft Edge not showing YouTube website, and he shows the screencast of Edge not working on YouTube because it shows a white screen, but YouTube works on Google Chrome on Windows 10, so it could be terrible if you run into the blank screen on Edge when visiting YouTube, and other site.
The address bar in Edge also does not work when the kid in the video uses Edge.

I think people don't like Edge being the default browser because they are not used to Edge, and rather use Firefox, Chrome, or Opera which they are used to, and people don't like programs changing their default settings.

I don't like the overly flat 2D design of Edge. It looks too simple.
