Chrome Browser

The Chrome Browser is an amazing browser.  Not only is it usually pretty fast (if not, then check out our article on how to fix that issue with our 3 Steps to Fix a Slow Google Chrome Browser).  Chrome also checks against the Google database to alert you to bad or unprotected sites that may contain viruses that can harm your computer.  There are two easy options to set Chrome as default browser in Windows 10.
