But then I remembered…look at Apple’s Safari browser. My first guess was to go to System Preferences, but there is nothing that controls the Default Browser there. The process to change your default browser on the Mac is actually pretty easy, once you know where to look. How to Change the Default Browser on the Mac
Looking at my normal Chrome settings, I saw that it was set as the default browser: “This is a secondary installation of Google Chrome, and cannot be made your default browser.” So, I went to the settings of Chrome Canary to set the default there, but was presented with an interesting error: However, since I already had Chrome installed (and it was set as the default), I wasn’t prompted.
Normally, when you launch a new install of a browser on a Mac, it asks you if you want to set it as the Default Browser. Since I already had Chrome (not Chrome Canary) installed and it was the default browser, every time clicked a link (e.g., in email), the “older” version of Chrome (not the Canary version) would open. I had been using the beta channel (and dev channels) for my “regular” version of Chrome on my Mac, but I wanted to test out the 64-bit version of the browser as it was supposed to be “faster.” However, I ran into an issue. It has the latest features and is targeted towards early adopters, developers and the like. If you want what Google calls “the bleeding edge of the web” type of browser, you can download and install Google Chrome Canary for Mac (or Windows).
Google recently released a 64-bit version of its browser, Chrome Canary.
