What are the benefits of the default browser

The default browser is convenient for several reasons:

• The default browser is usually tightly integrated with the operating system, allowing you to quickly open links from other applications, receive notifications, and use other features provided by the OS.
• Selecting a default browser allows you to automatically open links and web pages in your preferred browser without having to manually select your browser each time.
• Default browsers often offer synchronization of bookmarks, passwords, history and settings between different devices, making information easier to access and more convenient to use.
• Selecting a default browser allows you to use all the extensions and settings that are already installed and configured by the user, making the Internet experience more efficient and personalized.
• Browsers typically receive regular security updates by default, which helps protect user data and maintain a secure online experience.
• For example, browsers developed by large companies often integrate with their other services (Google Chrome with Google services, Microsoft Edge with Microsoft services, etc.), which can be convenient for users who actively use these ecosystems.

Using the default browser makes browsing the Internet much easier and faster, making it more secure and convenient.
