New to Mac / Switcher Tips: How to Change the Default Browser

default web browser os x

This one is one of the most annoying things about OS X.  They no longer have a control panel in System Preferences that lets you change your default browser.  Instead, they moved this Preference into Safari.  Makes sense, right? Yeah, I don’t get it either.  Anyway, to switch your default browser, launch Safari, go to Safari—>Preferences, and under the General tab, you will see a drop down menu where you can set your default web browser.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
