How to replace Edge as the default browser in Windows — and why you shouldn't
Microsoft has been struggling to get people to use its Edge browser for years. Even though the company made Edge the default browser in Windows 10, users left in droves, most of them flocking to Google Chrome — and with good reason. The original version of Edge was underpowered, had difficult-to-use features, and offered very few extensions compared to Chrome and Firefox.

But in January 2020, Microsoft launched a new version of Edge that's based on the same technologies that drive Chrome. (The new Edge is the only one that's ever been offered in Windows 11.) The Chromium-based Edge is a much better browser, and there are compelling reasons to use it. But you might still prefer to use Chrome, Firefox, or one of the many other browsers out there.

Even if you've set up another browser to be your default in the past, it might have been changed since then. When there's a major Windows upgrade, the installation software recommends switching to Edge, and you might have inadvertently made the switch.

Whatever the reason, if Edge is your default browser in Windows 10 or 11, it's easy to switch to the browser of your choice. As I'll show you, it only takes a few minutes.

The instructions in this article assume you're using either Windows 10 version 22H2 or Windows 11 version 25H2. If you're using an

How Panther Lake is made: We went inside Intel's most advanced chip fab

And by "you," I mean Adam, Mark, and Will, not me. Because I'm too far away from Arizona to see Intel's massive industrial fabrication center. And I'm not jealous at all, not even a little bit.

Sadly, because it's 1) a clean facility that's ten times as strict as an average surgical theater in terms of cleanliness and 2) stuffed floor-to-very-high-ceiling with proprietary technology and industrial secrets, the PCWorld team didn't get to take photos or video of the brand new Fab 52-18A facility, which is gearing up to produce Intel's next-generation Panther Lake chips for 2026.

The team did get to take notes and had a nice long chat in the Arizona sunshine about their experiences. For a deep dive on what has to be one of the most complex facilities on the planet, check out the full conversati

HYUNDAI SAYS ‘METAMOBILITY' WILL LINK REAL AND VIRTUAL WORLDS








 Hyundai Motor envisions an interactive and partially virtual future it calls "metamobility," in which a variety of robotic devices interact with humans to provide a wide range of mobility services, from automated personal transport to remote control of robots in  factories.

Hyundai executives, led by Chief Executive Euisun Chung, elaborated on the vision during a press conference at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

 Buzzwords aside, Hyundai plans to leverage its growing expertise in robotics and artificial intelligence to build  a future mobility network that connects humans in the real world with objects and tasks in the virtual world.
